How to Make Yorkshire Puddings — Step by Step
Step 1 — Preheat
Heat your oven to high heat (about 220°C / 425°F). This intense heat is what makes the batter rise.
Step 2 — Heat the pans
Add a teaspoon of oil or beef drippings into each muffin cup or Yorkshire tray. Place it in the oven until the oil is very hot and almost smoking.
Step 3 — Mix the batter
Whisk together equal parts flour, milk, and eggs with a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest — this gives better rise.
Step 4 — Pour & Bake
Carefully remove the hot pan and pour in the batter. Return to the oven immediately.
Step 5 — Don’t Open the Door
Bake until tall, golden, and puffed — usually 20–25 minutes. Opening the oven early can make them collapse.
