Creating the ideal Yorkshire pudding begins with the batter. Follow these simple steps:
Preheat and Heat Up: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the muffin tin with 12 cups in the oven to heat up.
Whisk It Up: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until you achieve a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps for a consistent texture.
Prepare the Tin: Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot muffin tin. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or beef drippings to each muffin cup, filling it about 1/4 inch. Return the tin to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the oil is hot and sizzling.
Pour and Bake: Carefully pour the batter into the hot muffin cups, filling each one about halfway. The hot oil will sizzle and rise up around the batter. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the Yorkshire puddings are puffed up and golden brown.
Avoid Deflation: Resist the temptation to open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the puddings to deflate.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the Yorkshire puddings are cooked, remove them from the oven and serve immediately while they’re still puffed and crispy. These delectable treats are a perfect accompaniment to roasts or can be enjoyed on their own.
