Yorkshire Puddings

There isn’t a more classic pairing with roast beef than Yorkshire Puddings – they’re the perfect match for rich roast beef gravy. This traditional recipe is inspired by an old edition of Home & Gardens cookbook. Yorkies aren’t difficult to make if you follow a few key steps: let the batter rest before cooking and make sure your oven and pan are up to temperature.

Ingredients

Here are the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • Fat from roast pan drippings, melted bacon fat or vegetable oil

Directions

Follow these cooking methods/directions: 1. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add milk and eggs; beat with electric mixer just until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for up to 8 hours, until ready to cook (Note: if refrigerated longer than 1 hour, allow batter to return to room temperature before baking). 2. Pour or spoon in enough fat to make a thin layer of fat in the bottom of each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan; heat the pan in preheated 425ºF oven for 5 minutes.  3. Working quickly and carefully, divide batter among the muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.
