Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temperature
- Beef dripping or vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons per tin cup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the sifted flour and salt, whisking continuously to avoid lumps until the batter is smooth and slightly runny (like heavy cream).
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of beef dripping or vegetable oil into each cup of a 12-cup metal muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin.
- Place the tin in the oven to heat until the fat is smoking hot, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into each cup, filling about halfway. You should hear a sizzle.
- Return the tin quickly to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the puddings have puffed up and turned deep golden brown. Do not open the oven door during baking.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately alongside your roast.
Notes
Resting the batter for at least 30 minutes is crucial for a good rise. Use smoking hot fat for crispy edges. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent collapse. Room temperature eggs and milk improve rise. Metal tins conduct heat better than glass or silicone. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving.
