Easy Homemade Yorkshire Pudding

Yorkshire Pudding is traditionally a really nice addition to a roast beef dinner, but it also tastes great on its own with jam or honey. It can be used as a side with pretty much any meat dish you are making which has gravy. It’s easy, so give it a try and enjoy!!

Directions:

Yield: 12 puddings

1. Start by measuring the four large eggs. This recipe uses equal parts eggs, flour and milk. Watch the video below for further explanation.
2. Put the measured eggs into the bowl and whip the eggs using an hand mixer. Using the hand mixer, the goal is to incorporate air into our mixture.
3. Add the milk and a pinch of salt to the eggs. Mix further using the hand mixer. Mix until it is nice and frothy.
4. Add the flour to the milk and egg mixture. As you are adding the flour push it through the sieve to remove any lumps in the flour. Mix again with the mixture.
5. Run the mixture through a sieve. This will remove any lumps or accidental egg shells from the mixture.
6. Place the mixture into a pitcher or any container that is easy to pour, this will make the next step easier. Place a piece of cellophane over top of the container and set it in the fridge to cool. It will take at least a couple of hours to cool to the correct temperature, but leaving it to cool longer, if possible, will help with the next step.
7. After the cooling has taken place, take a 12 cup muffin tin and add 1/2 tbsp of oil to each cup. Place the muffin tin in the oven pre-heated to 500°F. For the Yorkshire Pudding to work, we need smoking hot oil. This will take approximately five minutes in the oven.
8. Take the cooled batter from the refrigerator. Give it a little whisk and then pour the mixture evenly into the 12 muffin tins. As you are pouring, the oil will bubble. This is a good indication that the oil is hot enough.
9. Turn the oven down to 450°F. Place the Yorkshire Pudding into the oven for about 30 minutes.
10. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR WHILE THIS IS COOKING! It will cause the puddings to fall.

Yorkshire Pudding is great with any meat dish especially beef served with gravy. Yorkshire Pudding doesn’t really re-heat well so enjoy them on the day you make them!!!
