  1. Take a half pint glass and fill with plain flour, pour into a bowl. Fill the glass with milk and pour that into the bowl. Crack eggs into the glass until it's full and add those (about 6). Add a good pinch of salt and whisk thoroughly.
  2. Rest the mix in the fridge for 15 minutes then sieve into a jug.
  3. Heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.
  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.

    I found the puddings a little heavier than I would normally like, but they rose fantastically and tasted great - I used a muffin tin as I dont have a yorkshire pudding tin - won't bother buying one now as the muffin tin worked great.

    My first real attempt at Yorkshire Puddings and they came out brilliantly. After years of listening to family members complaining about Yorkshires that 'never' rise I feel privilaged to have found this recipe without having to spend years trying to get it right. thank you!

    At last, a yorkshire pudding receipe I can really trust to work every time. My family likes slices of yorkshire pudding, so made the same amount of pudding and poured it into a small roasting tin. Rose really well and easily cut into slices.

    Best recipe I've ever used for Yorkshire Pudding. Surprisingly difficult to get right so I was very pleased with this recipe! If I have goosefat on hand, and am not cooking for veggies, I'll use that instead of the sunflower oil.

    Great recipe! Yorkshires are surprisingly difficult to get right and this recipes works for me every time! Once or twice, when it's been to hand, I've used goose fat instead of sunflower oil, but such a great recipe if you like your Yorkshires crispy!

    I used my usual recipe (4oz flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 pint of half and half) but tried an experiment with a muffin tin - I only have a 6 hole muffin tin so I put this alongside a yorkshire pudding tin on the same shelf and put the mix in the oven at the same time - the muffin tins were fantastic! Towering high yorkshires, light and delicious - I'm off out to buy more muffin tins!!!

    These yorkshire pudds looked very impressive, tasted great but very heavy - will add slightly more milk next time. Didn't brown bottoms.

    I saw James Martin use this recipe on TV. I use a small coffee cup to measure the amounts, usually takes 3 eggs and then fill to same level with milk and then again with plain flour. This can be whisked up and used straight away, no need to leave to rest in the fridge. works every time. no more pancakes for me. My attempts before this were a family joke and I had to use the frozen ones.

    Loving that no oil has to be heated to smoking point, like everyone bangs on about. I was really sceptical of not doing this but they rose like a dream. Not sure about the actual batter though. Tasted a bit too eggy for my family's liking. Still...fool-proof recipe! I will never heat oil first again! :)
