In a jug, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until fully combined.
3 Eggs, 220 ml Milk, ½ teaspoon Salt
Gradually pour the egg mixture into the flour, whisking continuously until smooth and lump-free. Transfer the batter to a jug and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan / 425°F / Gas 7). Add 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil to each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin and place it in the oven for 8 minutes until the oil is very hot. If you're roasting potatoes at the same time, move them to the bottom shelf so the puddings can cook on the top shelf. Make sure the timing allows at least 18 minutes of cooking for your potatoes after the puddings go in, as opening the oven door can affect the rise.
12 teaspoon Sunflower Oil (Canola Oil)
Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and pour the rested batter evenly into the 12 holes. Return immediately to the oven and bake for 18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Notes
Use plain flour for best rise; self-raising flour will make puddings flat and dense.
Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to improve rise and texture.
Preheat oven and oil until very hot (220°C / 425°F) to create steam for tall, airy puddings.
Pour batter quickly into hot tins; use a jug for easier handling.
Do not open the oven door while baking — this can cause puddings to collapse.
Use a metal muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin, not silicone, for crisp edges.
