Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil, lard, or beef drippings
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together to combine and remove any lumps.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the flour, add the eggs, and whisk them into the flour until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk in small amounts, whisking continuously, until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should resemble heavy cream.
Step 5
Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, at room temperature.
Step 6
Place a 12-hole muffin tin (or a similarly sized Yorkshire pudding tin) into the oven to preheat. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil, lard, or beef drippings into each compartment of the tin and heat it in the oven until the fat is smoking hot.
Step 7
Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Pour the batter evenly into each compartment, filling them about halfway to ensure room for rising.
Step 8
Place the tin back into the hot oven and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the door. The puddings should puff up and turn golden brown.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish with roast meats, gravy, and vegetables.
