Golden and airy, these traditional Yorkshire puddings emerge from the oven perfectly puffed and crisp, offering a delightful accompaniment to any roast.
12teaspoonslardoil from roast meat, or vegetable oil
½cup74 grams all-purpose flour
2large eggsat room temperature
¼teaspoonsalt
½cup118 ml whole milk, gently warmed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, whisking briefly. Gradually incorporate the warmed milk while continuing to whisk until a smooth batter forms without any lumps. Whisk in the eggs until fully blended, then let the mixture rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 1 teaspoon of oil into each compartment of a muffin tray and transfer the tray to the oven, allowing the oil to heat for about 10 minutes until it begins to smoke.
Carefully slide the oven rack outward and pour the rested batter into each muffin cup, filling each about one-third full. Gently return the tray to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes without opening the door, ensuring the puddings rise and turn a rich golden brown.
Notes
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the puddings from collapsing. Serve immediately for best texture.
