Instructions

  1. **SEE BLOG POST for a complete discussion on tips and tricks for creating the best results**
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk or beat together the flour, salt and eggs until relatively smooth.  Gradually add the milk, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.  Cover with plastic wrap refrigerate for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight for maximum flavor.  The longer the batter rests the better the flavor will be.  (*See blog post for discussion about cold versus room temperature batter to determine which results you prefer)
  3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.  Using a traditional Yorkshire pudding tin (*see blog post for discussion about which type of tin to use), place a teaspoon or two of beef tallow in each tin and place the tin in the oven for about 6-7 minutes until piping hot.  Pour the batter into each tin (the pan should be hot enough that the batter sizzles) between 1/2 to 3/4 full.  (Note: If making two large Yorkshire puddings in two 8-inch cast iron pans, fill each pan slightly less than half full.  These will need to bake slightly longer than individual puddings.)  Bake the Yorkshire puddings for 11-13 minutes or until a deep golden brown.
  4. Makes enough for 12 Yorkshire pudding tins or regular muffin tin or two 8-inch cast irons if making two large Yorkshire puddings.
  5. Serve immediately.   Traditionally served with a roast, roasted potatoes, veggies and brown gravy.

Notes

  • To Freeze:  Let the Yorkshire puddings cool completely then freeze them in ziplock bags or an airtight container for up to one month.  Let thaw and then toast in the oven.
