THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Our classic pudding is deeply savory, making it the perfect accompaniment for roasted meats. The beef fat adds both richness and flavor but also keeps the pudding from sticking to the pan. Be sure to let the dough rest before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate and create the soft pillowy texture that Yorkshire puddings are known for. It's also important to preheat the pan; the puddings won't rise and puff unless your tin is literally smoking hot.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/4 cup rendered beef fat (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, milk, eggs and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until smooth-be sure not to over mix. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spoon 1 teaspoon beef fat into each hole of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and cook until the fat melts and the pan is very hot, 5 to 6 minutes. Working quickly, pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each tin about halfway. Bake until the puddings are golden brown and very puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Beef drippings from roast beef (about 1/4 cup)

CLASSIC YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Not a pudding, but a puffed pastry baked with meat drippings. We in the U.S. tend to think Yorkshire pudding and popovers are the same thing. Popovers are hard and very airy. Yorkshire pudding is softer and doesn't rise as high as a popover. Traditionally served with roast beef.

1 cup all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Using plain or all-purpose flour, rather than self-rising flour, gives the batter a lighter texture.
  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature, as this will help the batter to rise and be light and fluffy.
  • Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and develop a better flavor.
  • Preheat your oven to very hot before adding the batter. This will help the Yorkshire puddings to rise quickly and have a crispy exterior.
  • Pour the batter into the hot muffin tins or Yorkshire pudding cups, filling each one about ⅔ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Yorkshire puddings are risen and golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite gravy and roast beef.

Conclusion:

Yorkshire pudding is the perfect accompaniment to a roast dinner. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. With its light and fluffy texture and crispy exterior, Yorkshire pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are cooking a roast beef dinner, be sure to give this classic recipe a try.
