THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING



The Best Yorkshire Pudding image

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.

Categories     condiment

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.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING RECIPE



Yorkshire Pudding Recipe image

The secret to making perfect (foolproof) Yorkshire puddings! Should the batter be refrigerated? Can you make ahead? Your questions answered!

Provided by Nicky Corbishley

Categories     Sides

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

140 g (1cup+1tbsp) plain (all purpose) flour
4 medium eggs
200 ml (3/4cup+1tbsp) Semi Skimmed milk ((I prefer to use semi-skimmed or half fat milk))
6 tsp beef dripping or lard ((replace with vegetable oil for a vegetarian version))
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a jug and make a well in the centre.
  • Add the eggs and stir together with a balloon whisk, bringing the flour into the centre with the eggs bit-by-bit.
  • Add in the milk and stir again with the whisk until combined. It's fine if it's a little bit lumpy.
  • Place the jug in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight) to chill. This is important to allow the flour granules to swell (also, cold batter hitting a very hot pan should result in a good rise).
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/425F.
  • Add ½ tsp of lard to each hole of a 12-hole metal bun tin(*see recipe note 1 below for larger Yorkshire puddings). Place in the oven to heat for 10 minutes.
  • Take the jug of Yorkshire pudding batter of the fridge, add in the salt and pepper and stir once more with the whisk.
  • Open the oven door, and if safe to do so(* note 2), pull out the tray and quickly (be careful, the melted lard will be very hot!), pour the batter into each of the prepared muffin holes. Close the door immediately and cook for 15-18 minutes until risen and golden.

PERFECT YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Perfect Yorkshire Pudding image

This is a traditional part of our Christmas day dinner that has been wishy washy since my Grandmother died. I have only one 6 serving popover pan, so when I found this recipe at marthastewart.com, I was thrilled. My mother's recipe calls for putting the Yorkshires into a cold oven which is an impossibility so another thumbs up for this recipe. **It DOES call for resting/chilling for 4 hours - overnight, which is not included in the prep/cook time**. I just mixed it up in the morning. It wasn't fussy about cooktime - I started at the lower end of the recommended cooktime and checked it every 5 minutes. It just kept getting bigger & bigger!!! I cooked it for a total of 35 minutes. When it came out of the oven, Mom said it looked just like my Grandmother's. The ULTIMATE compliment. And my FIL wants a copy of the recipe. I also used a 9x13" pan so I could use the roasting pan for gravy. I had the leftovers for breakfast with a bowl of gravy. Yup, no kidding. Enjoy!

IDIOT-PROOF YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS



Idiot-Proof Yorkshire Puddings image

This is more of a formula than a recipe. You can use any measure you like, as long as they are all the same. I just used a cup for ease of demonstration. Once you know how to do it there is no excuse for buying those horrible frozen jobs ever again (as my husband says-they are for people who are too stupid to mix together flour, eggs and milk!) You can also freeze these, then just pop them from the freezer into a hot oven for a few minutes to heat through and crisp up. I make little mini ones for the children and freeze them-a great standby for a quick dinner or a cheats 'Toad in the Hole'. Try it--you'll be wanting to eat roasts more often!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup plain flour
1 cup beaten egg
1 cup milk
lard or oil

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, eggs and milk, until well combined. Cover and leave in the fridge for as long as possible-24 hours is good, 60 minutes minimum.
  • Melt blobs of lard/dripping or oil in pudding tin holes-enough that when its melted it comes up the side of the hole about 1/2cm.Remember lard has a higher smoke point than oil, and dripping more than lard, and in this case the hotter you can go, the better.
  • Heat the pan in a HOT oven, until oil/lard or dripping is smoking hot. If need be, heat the pan over a flame over the stove to get it smoking.
  • Remove batter from the fridge and mix quickly, pour into pudding holes. It should sizzle immediately.
  • Place tray in hot oven and do not open the door. Four large puddings take about 20-25 minutes.
  • NB-you can eat these cold with jam too!

FOOLPROOF YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Foolproof Yorkshire Pudding image

Well, this year for our holiday dinner, I finally did it! After a couple of previous experimental attempts at making Yorkshire Pudding (usually on a holiday and always with guests present), I finally got it right! Light and crispy and poofy huge. The biggest contribution to my success this year seems to be the Wondra flour, but using pan drippings and not taking shortcuts by using crisco and beef broth also yielded good results for me. I think cast iron muffin pans would work fabulous, but I'll have to wait to try that experiment until I add to my cast iron assortment.

Tips:

  • Use a hot oven: The oven should be preheated to 425°F (220°C) or hotter before adding the batter. This will help the puddings rise quickly and evenly.
  • Use a non-stick baking tray: This will help the puddings to release easily from the tray.
  • Don't open the oven door during cooking: This will cause the puddings to fall.
  • Serve immediately: Yorkshire puddings are best served hot, straight from the oven.

Conclusion:

Yorkshire puddings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even dessert. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little practice, you can be making perfect Yorkshire puddings in no time.
