Foolproof Yorkshire Pudding Recipe
The Foolproof Yorkshire Pudding Recipe is light, crispy and so delicious. These golden puffs rise high in the oven and feel magical.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons beef drippings or vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Place muffin tin in the oven with oil inside each cup. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) until the oil is very hot.
Make the Batter
- Whisk eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Remove all lumps carefully for perfect rise and texture.
Rest the Batter
- Let the batter rest for twenty minutes. Resting helps gluten relax and produces higher puff when baked.
Heat the Fat
- Make sure the oil or drippings are smoking hot. Hot fat is key for crisp, tall Yorkshire puddings.
Pour the Batter
- Carefully pour batter into hot tin cups. Work fast so heat stays inside and puddings rise beautifully.
Bake Without Opening
- Bake until golden and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking because heat loss stops rising instantly.
Remove and Serve
- Take puddings from oven and place on rack. Serve hot with gravy, roast meat, or butter immediately.
Notes
- Use very hot oil for strong rise
- Rest the batter before baking
- Do not open oven while baking
- Use equal parts milk and flour
- Whisk batter until completely smooth
