Perfect Yorkshire puddings

These are great with roast dinners, especially roast beef and can also be made as a puddings and served with golden syrup, black treacle, jam, lemon juice and sugar, etc...

The original recipe on this page was a variation of Delia Smith's Yorkshire pudding recipe from her Illustrated Cookbook. However, over the years we have had a few failures and I would heartily now recommend this recipe instead.

This recipe is far simpler and has never failed for me. I believe this recipe originates from Brian Turner, the famous Yorkshire chef.

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• Vegetable oil
• ½ cup of whole milk (125 ml or 125 g or 4.6 oz) - Skimmed or semi-skimmed milk does not work as well.
• 3 tablespoons of water
• ½ cup of plain flour (75g or 2.6 oz)
• ½ cup of eggs (2 large eggs or 3 small eggs)
• A pinch of salt

Mise en place

• Preheat the oven to 220° C (425° F - Gas 7)

Method

1. Select your measure and use it to measure out equal quantities of whole milk, plain flour and eggs - 1 cup takes about 5 medium eggs.
2. Tip the flour, eggs, milk and water into a bowl and add a generous pinch of salt.
3. Whisk by hand until all of the lumps are beaten out of the flour and no more. Don't over-beat the batter - it is not necessary.
4. Leave the mixture to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes if you have the time.
5. Generously grease a metal baking tray (about 28 cm x 18 cm - 11" x 7") with the vegetable oil - brushing works well here.
6. Place the tray in the middle of the oven until and leave until the oil is hot and almost smoking
7. Pour the batter mixture into the very hot tray
8. Bake for 20 minutes in the middle of the oven.

Chef's notes

This recipe always rises well and creates perfectly formed puddings, but they do tend to be rather 'puddingy' (almost sponge-like), probably because of the amount of eggs in comparison with Delia Smith's Yorkshire pudding recipe.
