  4. Put your pudding tins (muffin tins for small puddings or individual Yorkie tins for large) in the oven for 3 minutes to heat up. Add a little groundnut or sunflower oil to each tin then half-fill them with pudding mix.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes then turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and cook for another 10-15 minutes. When they are crisp and cooked through, turn the puddings upside down and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the bottoms.

    Tried this in lieu of my usual Yorkshire Pudding recipe [which is 2 eggs, 4oz flour, half pint milk/water 50/50 and salt to taste. Important that the mix stands for at least an hour.] No comparison, always get compliments for my recipe, everyone thought this was to heavy, mind these were serious Yorkshire folk who know a thing or too about Yorkshire Puddings! Seriously, F1mad, if you have to use a muffin tin then you have lost the plot. Moral of the tale ...never experiment when you have guests, go tried and tested!

    I haven't made Yorkies in years due to some very hit-and-miss experiences, but this recipe has changed all that. Worked beautifully first time, and every occasion since! Produced beautiful, light, towering puddings. Sunday lunches just got infinitely better!

    As a Yorkshire girl living in Cheshire, everyone just assumes I have 'the Knowledge' but my yorkies have been very hit & miss over the years until now. I thought this recipe was brilliant & so simple. We had a lovely St. Georges day dinner. By the way F1mad - you do them in whatever tin you like as long as they work and you enjoy them. Isn't that the point of cooking?

    Just need to comment on the muffin tin idea. Absolutely brilliant. My yorkshires were like towers. Thanks F1mad will never look back and am now in the process of spreading the word throughout the land on my quest to soon have the nation cooking their yorkshires in muffin tins. Only told Mum and Mum in law so far, but it's a start!

    My yorkies have been a hit and miss but these turned out lovely and tall. They were a little heavy but they held their shape well and garnered some nice praise.

    The yorkshires rose well but they were a little too dense for us. I prefer a lighter Y.P. I would like to try them in a muffin tin next time. Thanks for the tip F1mad!

    At last I can make yorkshire puddings I am not embarrassed putting on the table. Thank you so much, I used to use the same recipe as parlington and the puddings were wimps. Now I can produce manly puddings I am proud of.

    Hey great idea about the muffin tin! I'm telling everyone in Canada that using a muffin tin is the ONLY way to make a proper British Yorkshire Pudding.
