Ingredients
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk (or dairy-free milk)
• 2–3 tbsp beef drippings, bacon fat, or vegetable oil (essential for puff!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to heat.
- In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Crack in eggs and gradually whisk in milk until smooth and lump-free (batter should be thin, like heavy cream). Let rest 30 minutes at room temperature (key for fluffiness!).
- Carefully remove hot pan from oven. Add ½ tsp of fat to each cup. Return to oven 2–3 minutes to get smoking hot.
- Remove pan again. Quickly divide batter among cups (about ⅔ full).
- Immediately return to oven and bake 20–25 minutes, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN during baking—this causes collapse!
- Bake until tall, puffed, and deep golden brown. They’re done when crisp and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Serve immediately—Yorkshire puddings deflate quickly as they cool.
✨ Serve with:
• Roast beef and gravy (traditional!)
• Gravy poured right into the center
• Steamed veggies or mashed potatoes
💡 Pro tips:
→ Use warmed milk for smoother batter
→ Letting batter rest is non-negotiable for rise
→ For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or onion powder
