Equipment

  • Kitchen Scales
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Jug
  • 12 Hole Muffin Tin
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 100 g Plain Flour
  • 3 Eggs large
  • 220 ml Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 12 teaspoon Sunflower Oil

Instructions

  • Weigh the flour into a mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a jug.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the flour and whisk until there are no lumps left. Transfer the batter to a jug and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°c (200 fan/ 425F/ Gas 7) and put 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil into each hole of your 12 hole bun tin. Place in the oven for 8 minutes. I usually move my roast potatoes to the bottom shelf to allow the Yorkshire puddings to cook on the highest shelf. Just make sure you have your timings right and have at least 18 minutes left to cook on your roast potatoes when you put the Yorkshire puddings in the oven, because you don't want to open the door!
  • Take the tin out of the oven and pour the batter equally between the 12 holes. Place back into the oven immediately. Cook for 18 minutes.

Notes

Top tips:
  • Rest the batter for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • The oven temperature and oil need to be VERY hot before pouring the batter into the tin. I pour 1 teaspoon of oil into each hole of my cake tin (I use a standard12 hole bun tin) and place it in a hot oven 220°c (200 fan/ 425F/ Gas 7) for 8 minutes. Carefully take the tin out of the oven and pour the batter in immediately (put the batter in a jug to make life easier).
  • Don't be tempted to open the oven door whilst they are cooking. The steam will escape resulting in flat Yorkshire puddings. No-one likes flat Yorkies!
 
Freezing: Once cooked the Yorkshire puddings can be cooled down and frozen in freezer bags. When you are ready to use them just pop them straight from the freezer onto a baking tray and reheat in the oven (200°c/ 180 fan) for 10 minutes.
