Method

  1. Up to 3-4 hrs before cooking, mix together the milk, eggs, flour and 2 tsp salt in a food processor or blender until you have a smooth batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, whisk the eggs into the flour and salt, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Transfer to a jug, cover and leave at room temperature for at least 15 mins.
  2. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and brush 12 holes of a muffin tin with the oil. Heat the tin in the oven for 5 mins, then carefully lift out and quickly pour the batter into the holes. Bake in the oven for 5 mins, then reduce oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and cook for a further 30 mins until puffed, risen and golden.

    A little dense. Maybe add less flour the next time. Also made more than 12, mixture left over for pancakes in the morning. Actually, they looked like the picture, but my usual recipe goes higher.

    These re really delicious and very simple to make! I would say not dense enough. I do love a very doughy yorkshire though so it soaks up all the gravy. I know it's indulgent but what are Sundays for?!

    This recipe didn't work for me I'm afraid. The quantity was massive, it could have easily made double the number of puddings stated. They didn't rise and were more like cakes. I know loads of other reviewers have had good results though so don't let my experience put you off!!

    We don't have plain flour in South Africa, so had to use self-raising flour which helps them rise a bit higher. This is finally the recipe that turns out perfect for me.
