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.

    I am a complete novice chef. My wife & I go for Sunday dinner every week. She always states how much she loves the Yorkshire Puddings at the restaurant. She has never enjoyed shop bought ones. I gave this method a go (half measures) & they turned out perfect. She said they are every bit as good, if not better than the ones she adores. I know I shall be doing these regularly from now on. : )

    I made this recipe as had too may bottles of milk and wanted to cook things that would use some up. I followed it to the letter, save for adding some feshly ground salt and pepper. I also made one big yorkshire pudding instead of smaller ones. It came out perfect!!! Excellent recipe and I won't be using shop bought again!

    Best Yorkie recipe EVER!! and I'm from Yorkshire, used my Mums recipe for years then met a Polish chef 5 years ago who taught me this way, sorry Mum yours are good but these are the best. Only change is we make them the night before and leave in the fridge overnight and use beef dripping in the tin instead of oil.

    These are the best iv ever made!!! everone loves them, i have even had to give the recipe to my mum who is a great cook!! I halved the ingredients as i didnt need to do so much, and i also added a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard to the batter which works really well. I make these every Sunday now as my roast is not complete without them!

    I intend to make them one day ahead. Do I need to freeze them or just refrigerate them? And if frozen, how do I warm them up?

    Have used Delia's recipe on countless attempts and failed each time. These worked first time. Followed directions to letter but halved quantities and used muffin tin to make 6 of them. Fab.

    First time making yorkies and finding this recipe was very lucky. All the reviews are spot on - it consistently produces superb results. I followed to the letter and made sure everything was smoking hot, hot, hot and they were crazy big and tasty to boot. It made the meal and was a real valentine treat for my girlfriend. Thanks!

    I've been using the Bero Recipe for Yorkshire pudds for years, they're always ok These are amazing! These puds are huge and lovely, be careful not to put too close to the top of the oven! Enjoy

    Thank you for saving me from another embarrassing yorkshire pudding attempt!! Have tried several recipes but they have always ended up flat and stodgy, more like pancakes. Dont thing my family could take much more of it! These came out 'huge' but were so light and crispy. Fab recipe, Thanks xx
