Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 150 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 milliliters Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons (per muffin tin well) Vegetable oil or beef drippings
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or 200°C (fan). Place a standard 12-hole muffin tin on the middle rack to heat up with the oven.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and salt together.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk until a thick and smooth paste forms.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk and water mixture while whisking continuously, until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The consistency should resemble heavy cream. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes if time allows.
Step 5
Once the oven and your muffin tin are thoroughly heated, carefully remove the tin and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or beef drippings to each well. Place the tin back in the oven for 5 minutes to get the oil piping hot.
Step 6
After 5 minutes, remove the hot tin from the oven and quickly, but carefully, pour the batter into each well, filling them about halfway.
Step 7
Immediately return the tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are golden brown, puffed up, and crisp. Avoid opening the oven door during this time as it can cause the puddings to deflate.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the Yorkshire puddings from the tin and serve immediately. Enjoy with gravy, roast meats, or as an indulgent snack on their own.
