Best Yorkshire puddings

The secret to getting gloriously puffed-up Yorkshires is to have the fat sizzling hot – and don't open the oven door!

Method

  1. Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into 2 x 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or a 12-hole non-stick muffin tin and place in the oven to heat through.
  2. To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in four eggs until smooth. Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes. Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned. Serve immediately. You can now cool them and freeze for up to 1 month.

    First time I've made Yorkshire puds. Great recipe! They puffed up beautifully, but only needed 20 mins in my oven. My husband was very impressed!

    Does exactly what it says in the title. I have made yorkshire puddings for years but lately they have been flat. Used this recipe and the Yorkshires were the biggest I have ever seen made at home.

    I have never been able to cook Yorkshire puddings but I tried this recipe and they were fantastic. I thought the mixture was too runny and it would never work but that's obviously where I have been going wrong!!They rose (and rose!)were crisp, light and didn't even stick to the pan

    Hmmm.....they rise really well, but whenever I do Yorkshire puddings, with any recipe, they get singed! I follow the recipes to the T, and preheat, and make sure the fat is piping hot, but they still burn. This recipe is great, although they still burnt a bit :o) I couldn't leave them in for the 20-25mins. Maybe 15, and then had to take them out!

    Awesome. I used pure beef dripping from the roast. About two tbsp per pudding. Sizzling hot (about 230-250c). MASSIVE puddings. Slow start but hey just xploded after ten minutes. Touched the top of the oven. So lovely when drenched in gravy.

    This is fail proof. I made these on Christmas day and they where fantastic.So light and airy and they rose so high.....awesome. Ive never until now had success with yorkshire puddings, so have avoided cooking them. When I read the comments on this recipe thought I'd give it a try, and I am so glad that I did. BEST yorkshire pudding Ive ever tasted .............and I made them!!

    This is too eggy - They rose well and browned nicely but because of the amount of egg they were cake like. Would recommend halving the amount of egg if not more.
