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.

    Can anyone help, please? I want to make and freeze these for Sunday lunch. When I take them out of the freezer do I just let them defrost or pop into a hot oven.

    I have a reputation for "yorkshire pellets" as I have never been able to cook yorkshires properly. But this recipe made me a very happy cook - they were beautiful and rose perfectly. Yes!!!

    Not the best recipe I have used but it does make very good Yorkshire Puds, I halved the recipe as I did not need the full quantity.

    OMG. Thank you. For years i have struggled making yorkshire puddings and they have come out a disaster. I tried these sunday and after 7 minutes of being in the oven i could see them rising,i could not believe it,i brought everyone into the kitchen to have a look.They came out huge. My grand-children love yorkshires and i normally cheat by buying the shop ones.My 6 year grand-daughter said has i gave her, her roast dinner "WOW nanny how did you get them so big".The family are impressed. I'm looking forward to making a toad in the hole tonight. Thank you.

    I was amazed with this wonderful recipe. I've never had such huge, puffed up puddings and my son can't wait to get his hands on them. A big, tasty, mouthwatering treat that my family just can't wait to get stuck into. I'm so proud of my puddings... Thanks so much

    For years, I have been making Yorkshire Puddings and as time has gone by, they�ve gone from being fairly average to really rubbish!! Finally, I admitted defeat and decided to try this recipe. I have never made such fantastic Yorkshire Puds. They were enormous. Fluffy on the inside and tasted great. I whisked the eggs for a couple of mins until they were frothy and �airy�, before adding the milk. I divided the mixture into two 18cm sandwich tins and they were perfect! Great with your roast, or ideal with sausages and beans inside (sorry�.kids favourite!)
