Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• ½ tsp salt
• 2–3 tbsp beef drippings or vegetable oil

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding tray in the oven to heat up.

2. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour, whisking until the batter is lump-free.
   • Let the batter rest for at least 15–30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier puddings.

3. Heat the Fat:

   • Add about ½ tsp of beef drippings or vegetable oil to each cup of the preheated muffin tin. Place the tin back in the oven until the oil is smoking hot, about 5 minutes.

4. Bake the Puddings:

   • Carefully remove the tin from the oven and pour the batter into each cup, filling about ⅔ full. Work quickly to prevent the oil from cooling.
   • Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven door. The puddings will puff up and turn golden brown.

5. Serve Immediately:

   • Yorkshire puddings are best served fresh and hot. Pair them with gravy and roast beef for the ultimate comfort food experience.
