Follow these simple steps to make classic Yorkshire puddings that are light, airy, and perfectly crispy every time. This traditional British side dish is ideal for soaking up gravy with your roast dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup beef drippings or vegetable oil (for the tin)

Instructions

  1. Combine the eggs, flour, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until just combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter, similar in consistency to thin cream. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
  3. Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, for the best rise.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Place a 12-cup muffin tin into the oven while it preheats.
  5. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Immediately place about 1 teaspoon of beef drippings or oil into each cup. The fat must be smoking hot.
  6. Working quickly, pour the cold batter evenly into the hot fat, filling each cup about one-third full.
  7. Return the tin immediately to the hot oven. Do not open the oven door for the first 15 minutes of baking.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puddings are well-risen, golden brown, and crispy.
  9. Serve your puffy Yorkshire puddings immediately with your roast dinner and gravy.

Notes

  • For maximum rise, the batter must be cold and the fat must be smoking hot when you pour the batter in.
  • If you are serving these with a roast beef, use the rendered beef drippings from the roast for the best flavor.
  • Do not check the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking, as the sudden temperature drop will cause the puddings to collapse.
