Ingredients
- 3 large egg room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup milk room temperature, whole
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons beef drippings or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Add the eggs to a blender and blend for 2 minutes.
- Add milk, flour, and salt to the blender and blend for 30 seconds more. Allow the batter to rest in the fridge while preheating the oven to 425°F.
- Divide the beef drippings or oil over 8 wells of a muffin pan, approximately 1 teaspoon each. Place the muffin pan in the oven for at least 5 minutes to heat.
- Once hot, pour the batter into the muffin wells until they are ¾ full.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 18 to 23 minutes or until golden and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and run a butter knife along the edges of the Yorkshire puddings to remove from the pan.

Notes
- Allow the batter to rest overnight to enhance rising and texture.
- Preheat the muffin tin and fat thoroughly for optimal puffing.
- Beef drippings come from cooked beef fat and are preferred, but bacon fat, lard, or vegetable oil work as alternatives.
- Frozen Yorkshire puddings keep for up to three months and can be reheated when needed.
- Fresh thyme or rosemary can be added for subtle herb flavor.
