Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup AP Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 6 Tbsp Beef fat drippings, olive oil, or avocado oil Beef fat is the most traditional ingredient, but other oils can be used if beef fat drippings are not an option. They will however, impart a slightly lighter flavor.

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Measure oil into each cavity of a muffin pan (a popover or Yorkshire tin are great too... if you have those on hand). Making sure the bottom of each muffin cavity has about 1/8 inch of beef fat/oil.
  3. In a large glass measuring cup, whisk eggs together. Then add milk, flour, and salt. Stir well. (Note: at this point the mixture will be lumpy- and the flour may not be fully incorporated.) Don't be tempted to overmix the Yorkshire pudding batter.
  4. I like to allow my batter to sit at room temperature for thirty minutes, but this is not necessary.
  5. Heat the beef fat/oil (in the muffin pan) in the preheated oven for about seven minutes- or until the oil is very hot.
  6. Giving the batter one last gentle fold, carefully pour the batter into the hot muffin pan cavities. *Oil is likely to pop up so be mindful of this fact. The oil should sizzle as you pour the batter into each individual muffin pan cavity. Filling about 1/2 to 3/4 full.
  7. Place in the oven for about 15-18 minutes. The Yorkshires will grow over the tops of the muffin pan as they bake. Do not be tempted to open the oven too many times, as valuable heat will escape quickly, and may cause the Yorkshire puddings to deflate.
  8. Bake until crispy and golden brown. Serve witha drizzle of gravy if desired. These treats are best eaten immediatly.

Notes

*Yorkshire Pudding can also be made in one large baking dish instead of in individual portion sizes. Either method is acceptable.
