YORKSHIRE PUDDING RECIPE

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.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Divide drippings (or other fat) evenly between two 8-inch cast iron or oven-safe non-stick skillets, two 6-well popover tins (see notes), one 12-well standard muffin tin, or one 24-well mini muffin tin. Preheat in the oven until the fat is smoking hot, about 10 minutes.

GORDON RAMSAY'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blend until well combined and place in the refrigerator until ready to use (allow to rest for at least 30 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Put 1 teaspoon of the oil (or beef drippings) into each section of a 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tray and put into the oven on the top shelf until very hot, almost smoking.
• As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters fill the tins (it should sizzle) and immediately put back into the oven.
• Bake until the Yorkshire puddings are well risen, golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.

BEST-EVER YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Mix in the salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Create a well in the flour and add the eggs, milk, cold water and mustard. Mix well. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. If there are lumps strain through a fine sieve into a jug for pouring. The consistency should be like whipping cream; if it is too thick, pour in a bit more milk.
• Divide the vegetable oil between a 12-tin muffin tray and place in the preheated oven for at least 5 minutes. It is really important that the oil is sizzling hot, almost smoking.
• Working quickly, pull the tin out of the oven and fill the muffin holes ¾ full of batter. If you want giant Yorkies, fill them right to the top (you'll just have less). Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
• Bake for 20 minutes. The puds should be golden brown and crispy. If they're not crispy, they will sink as soon as they come out of the oven.

BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8.
• Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or two 12-hole non-stick muffin tins and place in the oven to heat through.
• To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in 4 eggs until smooth.
• Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes.
• Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned.
• Serve immediately. You can now cool them and freeze for up to 1 month.

• Make a well and add the eggs, 1 1/2tbsp of the beef dripping, half the milk and beat everything until smooth and all the lumps have gone.
• Whisk in the remaining milk.
• Set batter aside and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C/Gas 8.
• Place a spoonful of dripping in each pudding mold and heat in the oven until piping hot and starting to smoke.
• Whisk the batter again and very carefully pour into the hot pudding tins, filling each compartment to about 3/4.
• Bake immediately for approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Don't open the oven door apart from when you need to check if they are done for the first time after 10 minutes.
• If you're making one large pudding, it will take 30-40 minutes.
• They should be golden brown, risen on the outside with a deep depression in the centre. (sometimes they rise in the middle as well, but that doesn't really matter. ;D).

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour and salt. Do not overmix. Allow the batter to rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Add a teaspoon of fat to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin and transfer to the oven to heat, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once hot, divide batter equally to fill the cups about halfway, and return the muffin tin for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the puddings are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
