Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
You’ll need a 12-hole muffin or Yorkshire pudding tray for this recipe. Don’t forget your whisk and large mixing bowl!
There’s a few things to keep in mind here. Your eggs and milk need to be at room temperature – it helps them bond better with the flour. And then there’s salt – just a pinch, but it’s what gives your pudding that gorgeous golden hue.
Can’t find all-purpose flour? Don’t worry, you can use plain flour. And in case you’re watching your fat intake, you can replace milk with almond milk.
How To Make Yorkshire Pudding
- Preheat your oven: This is critical. Your oven needs to reach a temperature of 220��C (430��F). You can do this while prepping the batter.
- Mix the ingredients: Combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Ensure you’re constantly whisking to maintain the consistency. We want zero lumps!
- Rest the batter: Once mixed, let it rest. A small hiatus of 30 minutes will do. Remember, good things take time.
- Bake the puddings: Pour the batter into a greased muffin tray and bake for 15-20 minutes till they’re wonderfully puffed up and golden.
Tips For The Best Results
- Ensure your oven is pre-heated to the right temperature
- The batter must be lump-free and resting is crucial.
