Make classic, crispy, and fluffy Yorkshire puddings with this simple recipe. These golden British side dishes are perfect for your Sunday roast and bring joy to any shared meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil or beef dripping for the tin

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
  2. Add the eggs to the well, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth, thin batter. Do not overmix.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours. This resting period is key for a good rise.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin or a roasting tin into the oven. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of oil or dripping to each cup. Heat the tin in the oven for at least 10 minutes until the fat is smoking hot.
  5. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Quickly and evenly pour the batter into the hot fat, filling each cup about halfway.
  6. Immediately return the tin to the oven. Do not open the oven door for the first 15 minutes of baking.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puddings are well-risen, golden brown, and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with gravy and your favorite roast dinner.

Notes

  • For the best results, the fat must be extremely hot before you add the batter. This shock helps create the tall, puffy shape.
  • If you are planning meals for the week, consider how this simple side fits into your overall meal planning.
  • If you prefer not to use animal fat, use a high smoke point vegetable oil.
