✅ Ingredients (makes 12 puddings)

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (room temperature)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil or beef drippings

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

  • Heat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
  • Place a 12-cup muffin tin inside to heat up fully (very important!).

2. Make the batter

In a mixing bowl:

  1. Whisk eggs + milk until smooth.
  2. Add flour and salt.
  3. Whisk until the batter is silky, lump-free, and slightly thin.
  4. Let it rest 15–30 minutes for best rise.

3. Heat the oil

  • Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven.
  • Add ½–1 tsp oil or beef drippings into each cup.
  • Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the oil is very hot and smoking.

4. Pour the batter

  • Carefully pour the batter into each muffin cup—fill only halfway.
  • Work quickly so the tin stays hot.

5. Bake

  • Bake at 230°C (450°F) for 20–25 minutes.
  • Do NOT open the oven door while baking (this makes them collapse).

6. Serve

  • Serve immediately!
  • Perfect with roast beef, gravy, or filled with savory stews.

⭐ Tips for Perfectly Puffy Yorkshire Puddings

  • Use room-temperature ingredients.
  • Batter should rest at least 15 minutes (1 hour is even better).
  • Oil must be smoking hot before pouring batter.
  • Don’t open the oven!
