Often paired with roast meats and rich gravy, this beloved dish has been a staple in British kitchens for centuries. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make Yorkshire puddings that are golden and crispy on the outside, yet soft and tender inside. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting out, our step-by-step instructions will help you achieve perfect results every time.
Ingredients and Equipment
Before you start, gather the following essentials:
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 3 large | Eggs |
| 1/2 teaspoon | Salt |
| As needed | Vegetable oil or beef drippings |
Equipment:
- 12-cup muffin tin
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
Instructions
1. Preheat and Heat the Tin
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the muffin tin in the oven to get it hot.
2. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for an even texture.
3. Prepare the Muffin Cups
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil or beef drippings into each cup, about 1/4 inch deep. Return the tin to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the oil is sizzling hot.
4. Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the hot muffin cups, filling each about halfway. The sizzling oil will help the batter rise beautifully. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed and golden brown.
5. Keep the Puddings Puffy
Avoid opening the oven door while baking, as this can cause the Yorkshire puddings to collapse.
6. Serve Immediately
Remove from the oven and serve right away while they’re still puffed and crispy. These Yorkshire puddings are perfect alongside a roast or even enjoyed on their own.
