Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup beef drippings or vegetable oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat the Pan
Place 1 tsp of beef drippings or oil into each muffin tin well. Preheat in a 425°F (220°C) oven until the oil is shimmering hot.
Step 3: Bake
Quickly pour batter into the hot muffin wells (about halfway full). Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven until puffed and golden.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Serve hot with roast beef and gravy. Yorkshire puddings should be crisp on the outside and slightly tender inside.
Recipe Notes
🎯 Pro Tip: For the tallest rise, make sure your oil is sizzling hot before adding the batter!
