Yorkshire puddings come in all sizes and shapes, sometimes the differing shapes aren’t intentional, but that can be the nature of cooking these puffed up pastry bowls of batter – they tend to be a little unpredictable. If you want to eliminate the element of surprise however, here is the best Yorkshire pudding recipe that there is. Follow the instructions, and you will have a great end result. First, collect your ingredients to make your pudding:
110g of plain white flour
2 medium eggs
300ml of chilled milk
2-3 tablespoonfuls of olive oil/ beef dripping/rape seed oil
Large pinch of salt
Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl and add the salt. Make a well in the centre and break in the two eggs. Gently whisk the eggs into the flour and then gradually add the milk.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour or more to chill; this will help them rise really well.
Preheat the oven to 220C. Drop ½ teaspoon of oil into each segment of a cake tin and place it at on the top shelf of your oven for ten minutes or until the oil is sizzling. Briefly whisk your batter and pour into the segments of the cake tin containing the smoking hot oil. When the batter hits the oil it should sizzle, if it does not, the oil may not be hot enough and you should return it to the oven for a little longer. The longer the tin is out of the oven, the more time the oil has to cool down so try and work quickly but carefully, and take care not to spill the oil in your haste. Bake the puddings at the top of the oven for 20 minutes.
And that’s all you need to do to create the best Yorkshire pudding recipe. Yorkshire puddings are simple enough to make, and so if you time the cooking so that they are ready to serve at the same time as your meat, they can be consumed at their crispiest which is when they taste their best.
