Ingredients

  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 3 eggs (£1.50)
  • 150 ml milk (£0.90)

Cupboard Essentials

  • Approx 6 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • Pinch of salt

Note: Makes 12 large Yorkshire puddings - wohoo!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 210°C FAN/ 220°C conventional/ 410°F

  • To a muffin tin, add a splash of oil into 12 compartments of the tin (or 6 large), approx ½ cm per compartment. Pop in the oven for 10 minutes to preheat the oil.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and milk and whisk until combined. Slowly pour the self-raising flour into the bowl whilst continuously whisking. Season with salt and whisk until smooth, but don’t over whisk.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven and place on a heat proof mat. Quickly and carefully (to ensure the oil is still hot), ladle the batter into the 12 compartments. Place back in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until completely risen, with the base being fully cooked.
  • Use tongs to remove your Yorkshire puddings from the muffin tin and place on a wire-rack until you’re ready to serve!

Notes

  • Many will argue the batter for Yorkshire puddings needs to be completely smooth.  A few lumps here and there won't affect your puddings.
  • Place the muffin tin inside a larger tray to prevent dangerous oil overflow in the oven.
  • Skip lining the muffin tin for better results; the hot oil prevents sticking.
