Yorkshire pudding is practically crepes cooked in a very hot oven and because of the intense heat, they pup up. That is why they are also called popovers.

How to serve Yorkshire Pudding
They are usually served as a side dish with a roast or stew and the meat gravy poured into the hole in the centre.
Make your dinner even more special by adding them to your main dish, Thanksgiving, Christmas or just a Sunday roast. They are way too easy to make!
Yorkshire Pudding Ingredients
The Yorkshire pudding mix is the same as for crepes:
- 1 cup – 125 g flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup – 300 ml milk (or milk and water)
- ½ tsp of salt
You will also need fat to pour into the muffin pan. Best is to use suet as the pudding have to be cooked at very high temperature. If you cannot find it (like me) use vegetable oil.
How to make the Yorkshire Pudding
- Mix all the ingredients and let them rest for at least 30 minutes
- Using a muffin pan, pour 1 tbsp of light vegetable oil (soy or seeds oil) into each muffin cup.
- Brush the fat all around and place it in a hot oven at 220 C until the pan and the oil are extremely hot.
- Once the oil is piping hot, pour the mix into the cups
- Immediately put the pan straight back into the oven.
- Cook them for 20 minutes and watch them rise.
- Remove from the pan
- Serve them on a serving dish
Important tips for making the best Yorkshire Pudding
- It is important that the mixture rests for a minimum of 30 minutes before using it. Even better if it rests overnight.
- Best to use suet, if not use vegetable oil as it has to resist to very high temperature
- I always put a large oven pan under it in case of the oil spills over. It is too difficult to clean afterwards.
- Brush the pan with the oil also on the top
- Make sure the oil is piping hot before you pour in the mix
- You have to use a metal muffins pot, it cannot be replaced with a silicon one.
