Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons beef drippings or vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, add about 1 teaspoon of beef drippings or vegetable oil to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the muffin tin in the oven to heat the oil for at least 10 minutes. It needs to be smoking hot!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined. This ensures there are no lumps in your batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Then, gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix – a few small lumps are okay!
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter, airier pudding. I’ve tried skipping this step, and trust me, it makes a difference!
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Working quickly (but safely!), pour the batter into each cup, filling them about halfway. Be careful – the oil will splatter!
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up, golden brown, and crispy around the edges. Resist the urge to open the oven door during baking – this can cause them to deflate.
Serve your Yorkshire puddings immediately while they are still hot and puffy. They’re perfect with roast beef and gravy!
