Traditional Yorkshire Puddings

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk

3 large eggs

1/2 tsp salt

Beef drippings or vegetable oil (for the tin)

---

Instructions:

1. Make the batter:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together.

Slowly whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour (or refrigerate up to overnight).

2. Preheat the oven:

Heat oven to 450°F (230°C).

Put a little beef drippings or oil into each cup of a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin.

Place the tin in the oven to heat for 5–10 minutes, until the fat is smoking hot.

3. Bake:

Quickly pour the batter into the hot tin, filling each cup about 1/3 full.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, do not open the oven door during baking.

They should puff up dramatically and turn golden brown.

Pro Tips:

A hot oven and hot fat are key for a big rise.

Don’t overfill the cups—this helps with that signature "bowl" shape.

Serve immediately for best texture.
