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.

    Split this in to 2 batches to make 2 large plate size yorkshire puddings for the base of sunday dinner. Great recipe, reduced the eggs used to 3 though.

    Fantastic! I was looking for a new Yorkshire pudding recipe to try as mine are a bit hit and miss when it comes to rising. Tried this one and.....WOW! Fool proof recipe with great results, would definitely recommend :) I did half the recipe for two of us using 3oz flour, 2 eggs and 100ml milk and it made 8 cracking puds in a muffin tin. Won't use any other recipe in the future!

    Great recipe I have been making home made Yorkshires for 40 years and this is as good as my family recipe, however I always use beef dripping or lard and never evg oil, I know the vegetarians will wince at that but it makes a huge difference to the lightness of the puddings in the same way it does to fish & chips fried in beef dripping!!

    Came across this because I didn't have any batter mix or frozen Yorkshire's. They came out so well tried again in toad in the hole which rose so much it nearly touched the top of the oven. They come out better if you season and use a really powerful blender or whisk. Top notch recipe.
