Yorkshire pudding is a true British classic — crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, and the perfect accompaniment to a hearty roast dinner. Though it may seem intimidating at first, making Yorkshire puddings at home is easier than you think, and the results are absolutely worth it.
Start with a simple batter of eggs, flour, and milk, whisked until smooth and left to rest for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven and get your roasting tin or muffin tray sizzling hot with a little oil or beef dripping — this is the key to achieving that iconic rise. Pour the batter into the hot tin and bake at a high temperature until golden, puffed, and crispy.
For extra flavor, serve your Yorkshire puddings alongside roast beef, gravy, and roasted vegetables, letting them soak up the delicious juices. You can also experiment with smaller, individual puddings perfect for entertaining.
Whether it’s a Sunday roast or a special occasion, this traditional Yorkshire pudding recipe is sure to impress. With a little practice, you’ll have perfectly light, fluffy puddings that everyone will love!
