I was wrong and I am so excited to show you how easy it is to make successful Yorkshire pudding.

impress yourself and add this amazing side dish to your next Sunday roast.

Ingredients you will need to make Yorkshire pudding

all-purpose flour
large eggs
salt
cold milk
vegetable oil – or beef dripping and lard. be sure that any oil you use has a high smoke point since we will be baking these in a very hot oven.

How to make Yorkshire pudding

1. Mix

In a large bowl or a blender, add your flour and salt and create a well in the middle.

add eggs and milk to the well

using a whisk begin by breaking up the eggs then slowly incorporating a bit of flour at a time until everything is combined

keep whisking until the batter is smooth. make sure you have no lumps in your batter as this will be one of the reasons this will not work. you can use an electric blender, beater or stand mixer if you feel you can get a smoother batter this way.

2. let it rest

cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. allowing the batter to rest will ensure the flour has absorbed all the liquid and has become one cohesive batter.

3. pre heat

preheat oven to 425℉

place 1 tsp of oil in each muffin cup, enough to cover the bottom but not create a deep puddle. too much oil will make the batter have a deep-fried texture.

4. heat the oil

place it in the oven until the oil becomes very hot, almost to the point of smoking.

remove the tray from the oven and immediately pour the batter in the middle of each cup until they are about ½ full. do not overfill or spill any on the edge. the batter needs room to grow and the spill will burn fast making the rest of the oven spell like burnt batter.

be sure to wipe up any spilled batter, carefully as the pan should be very hot.

you should see oil around the sides completely and it should be sizzling slightly for perfect Yorkshire pudding.

5. Bake

bake for 15-20 minutes, do NOT open the door until they are fully baked or you run the risk of them collapsing.

6. Serve Yorkshire pudding covered in gravy

serve and top with gravy.
