Light, airy, and golden brown — these classic Yorkshire puddings are the perfect side for a Sunday roast or holiday dinner. Simple ingredients, big rise!
Ingredients
140g plain flour (about 200ml or 7fl oz)
4 large eggs (about 200ml or 7fl oz when cracked)
200ml milk
Sunflower oil, for cooking
Salt & pepper, to season
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 230°C / 210°C fan / Gas 8.
2. Heat the Oil
Drizzle a little sunflower oil into each hole of two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins (or two 12-hole muffin tins for mini versions). Place the tins in the oven to get hot — the oil must be piping hot before you add the batter.
3. Make the Batter
In a large bowl, add the flour. Crack in the eggs and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Fill the Tins
Carefully remove the hot tins from the oven. Pour the batter into a jug, then quickly and evenly fill each hole about halfway full.
5. Bake — No Peeking!
Return the tins to the oven and bake undisturbed for 20–25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up, golden, and crisp.
6. Serve or Store
Serve immediately while hot and airy.
Tip: You can let them cool and freeze for up to 1 month — reheat from frozen in a hot oven until crisp.
