Yorkshire Puddings

Yorkshire puddings add a special touch to holiday meals, with their crisp exterior and soft, pillowy centre. The simple batter comes together quickly, allowing you to focus on other dishes. A hot oven and preheated pan are key to achieving that signature rise and golden brown colour. The result is a versatile side that pairs beautifully with roasted meats and gravy.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (250 mL) whole milk
- 1 cup (250 mL) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- ¼ cup (60 mL) vegetable oil or beef drippings
Instructions
- Step 1
Set a rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Step 3
Place 1 tsp (5 mL) oil or beef drippings into each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan. Transfer pan to oven and heat until oil is smoking, about 2 minutes.
- Step 4
Remove pan from oven and quickly pour batter into cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake until puddings have risen and are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips
To help ensure your Yorkshire puddings rise, avoid overfilling the tin. If you pour too much batter into each individual compartment, the pudding will begin to rise, but will then collapse because it is too heavy. To avoid this, only fill each compartment to be about 2/3 full.
