Yorkshire Puddings

Ingredients

Units:
  • 140 g plain flour
  • 4 item eggs
  • 200 ml whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60 ml vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

  2. 2

    Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the flour well along with half the milk. Whisk from the center outward, gradually incorporating the flour until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining milk and whisk until you have a smooth batter with the consistency of heavy cream. Let rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Add about 1 teaspoon of oil to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin.

  5. 5

    Place the muffin tin in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the oil is smoking hot - this is crucial for the rise.

  6. 6

    Working quickly, remove the tin from the oven and immediately pour the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about 1/3 to 1/2 full.

  7. 7

    Return to the oven immediately and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the door. They should be well-risen, golden brown, and crispy.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy, traditionally alongside a Sunday roast.

Chef's Note

"These golden, crispy Yorkshire puddings are the perfect Sunday roast companion. The secret is getting your oil smoking hot and not opening the oven door - trust the process and you'll achieve those magnificent risen edges every time!"
