Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or beef drippings
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a 12-hole muffin tin or a Yorkshire pudding tray in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together.
Step 3
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and crack in the eggs. Gradually whisk the eggs into the dry mixture until smooth.
Step 4
Slowly add the milk in a steady stream, whisking continuously to form a lump-free batter. The consistency should resemble heavy cream.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to a jug for easier pouring and let it rest for 15-20 minutes if possible (optional but recommended for a lighter pudding).
Step 6
Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven carefully. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or beef drippings to each cup. Return the tray to the oven for 5 minutes to get the oil smoking hot.
Step 7
Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the hot oil in each cup, filling it about 2/3 full.
Step 8
Place the tray back into the oven immediately and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up, golden brown, and crisp. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent them from deflating.
Step 9
Serve the Yorkshire puddings straight out of the oven as a perfect accompaniment to roast beef, gravy, and vegetables. Enjoy!
