Ingredients

• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 300 milliliters milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or beef dripping
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs.

Step 4

Using a whisk, slowly incorporate the eggs into the flour from the center, gradually drawing in the flour from the sides.

Step 5

Once the eggs and flour are combined, slowly add the milk, continuing to whisk until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 6

Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature if time allows. This step helps to achieve a better rise in the oven.

Step 7

Place a 12-cup muffin tin into the preheated oven for 5 minutes to heat up thoroughly.

Step 8

Carefully remove the tin from the oven and add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or beef dripping into each muffin cup, ensuring the bottom is well coated.

Step 9

Return the tin to the oven to heat the oil until it's smoking hot, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Quickly remove the tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into the hot muffin cups. The batter should sizzle right away if the oil is hot enough.

Step 11

Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the oven door, until the puddings are well risen and golden brown.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a side dish; Yorkshire puddings are best enjoyed freshly baked.
