Description
Crispy on the outside and pillowy inside, this classic Yorkshire Pudding is the perfect side dish to any roast dinner or hearty breakfast. With just a few pantry ingredients, you’ll get that dramatic rise and golden crust every time.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 teaspoons beef drippings or high-smoke-point oil (1 tsp per muffin cup)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until smooth and lump-free.
2. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to fully hydrate the flour.
3. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a muffin or popover tin in the oven while it heats.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of beef drippings or oil to each muffin cup.
5. When the fat is hot and shimmering, remove the pan from the oven and carefully pour the batter into each cup, filling halfway.
6. Quickly return the tin to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time.
7. Bake until the puddings are puffed and deep golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite roast, gravy, or breakfast filling.
Notes
Resting the batter is key to achieving height and a custardy center—don’t skip this step.
Your fat must be smoking hot before adding the batter to get that iconic puff and crisp.
For best results, avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent deflation.
