Culinary/Recipes/Yorkshire pudding

Yorkshire pudding is a baked pudding made from a batter of eggs, flour, and milk or water. A common British side dish and is a common part of the traditional Sunday roast

This recipe is for eight large servings or 24 small ones.

Ingredients

• 140g (5 oz) plain flour
• 4 large eggs
• 200ml (7 fl oz) milk
• Sunflower oil or beef dripping, for cooking
• Salt to taste

Method

• Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

• In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add a pinch of salt.

• Make a well in the center of the flour and crack in the eggs.

• Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps until you have a smooth batter.

• Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid and gives you a lighter pudding.

• After resting, pour a little sunflower oil or beef dripping into each compartment of a muffin tin, or into a shallow baking dish, enough to just cover the base (about 1 cm or 0.5 inch deep).

• Place the tin or dish in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the oil is smoking hot.

• Carefully remove the tin or dish from the oven and quickly pour the batter into the compartments or dish, filling each about halfway.

• Place the tin or dish back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puddings are risen, golden brown, and crispy.

• Serve while hot or reheat through when ready to serve.
