Learn how to make the Best Yorkshire Pudding Recipe for the holidays! Uses 6 simple ingredients including salt and pepper and is ready in just 35 minutes.
Equipment
- Blender or whisk
- Popover pan or muffin tin
- Bowl to mix batter if using whisk
- Sheet pan
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 3 ¼ cups whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons pan drippings reserved from the beef roast, or 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and place a sheet pan under the rack you intend to bake the Yorkshire puddings on, to catch any overflow. Mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper in a blender on high. The resulting mixture should resemble heavy cream. You can also use a whisk to blend the batter.4 large eggs, 3 ¼ cups whole milk, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pour pan drippings or vegetable oil into each popover cup to grease the pan - just enough to cover the bottom of each cup. Heat the pan (don't add the batter yet!) in the oven for 2 minutes.4 tablespoons pan drippings
- After 2 minutes is up, remove the pan from the oven and quickly (but carefully) pour the batter into the preheated cups. Fill them about halfway each.
- Put the pan directly into the oven and do not open the oven door for any reason, or your puddings will deflate. Keep the oven light on to watch the popovers, instead.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. They will puff to their highest height in the last 10 minutes of baking time. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make one big Yorkshire pudding by baking in a 9 by 13 inch pan. Preheat the oven to 400°F, add 2 Tablespoons beef fat or vegetable oil to the bottom of the pan, then pour in the batter. Bake according to recipe card instructions.
- Double the batter so you can have a second batch ready to stick in the oven as you sit down for dinner to enjoy the first!
- Let your batter come to room temperature first for perfect popovers.
- Don't skip preheating the pan - this will ensure your popovers immediately start to rise for the tallest, fluffiest Yorkshire puddings.
