Description
These Perfect Individual Yorkshire Puddings are golden, crisp on the outside, and tender inside. Baked in a muffin tin, they puff beautifully and pair wonderfully with roast dinners, rich gravies, or even savory brunch fillings. Made with just 5 simple ingredients, they’re easy to master and hard to resist.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 pinch salt
12 teaspoons vegetable oil or beef drippings
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard muffin tin inside to heat while the oven preheats.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and salt until the batter is smooth. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin and pour 1 teaspoon of oil or beef drippings into each cup. Return to oven for 5 minutes until the oil is very hot.
4. Quickly pour the rested batter into the hot muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven, until tall, golden, and crisp.
6. Remove and serve immediately for best texture and puff.
Notes
For maximum rise, make sure your muffin tin and oil are very hot before adding the batter.
Resting the batter helps the flour absorb the liquid and results in a smoother, taller rise.
Don’t open the oven during baking—this collapses the steam and ruins the puff.
