Make tall, crispy Yorkshire puddings with a light, airy center every time. This classic British side dish is simple to prepare and perfect for your next roast dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or high-protein flour for best rise)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil or beef dripping, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
  2. Crack the eggs into the well. Begin whisking the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking until you have a smooth, thin batter, similar to heavy cream. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. This resting period is key for a good rise.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin (or a large roasting tin) into the oven. Add about 1/2 inch of oil or dripping into each cup. Heat the tin and oil in the oven for at least 10 minutes until the fat is smoking hot.
  6. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Quickly and evenly pour the batter into the hot fat, filling each cup about halfway.
  7. Immediately return the tin to the 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 crisp.
  9. Serve immediately with roast beef and gravy. If you are looking into better organization for your meals, consider looking at meal planning options.

Notes

  • The secret to a high rise is extremely hot fat. Do not skip the preheating step for the tin and oil.
  • For the best texture, use whole milk and ensure your batter is completely smooth before resting.
  • If you are interested in other dietary approaches alongside your traditional meals, research keto meal plan delivery options.
  • If you prefer individual servings, use a standard 12-cup muffin tin. For a large pudding, use a 9×13 inch baking dish.
