- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 225 g plain flour (1 3/4 cup)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 300 ml milk (10 fl oz)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons beef drippings, for batter
- 100 g beef drippings, for cooking (3 1/2 oz)
- salt
directions
- Mix the flour and salt and sift them into a large mixing bowl.
- Make a well and add the eggs, 1 1/2tbsp of the beef dripping, half the milk and beat everything until smooth and all the lumps have gone.
- Whisk in the remaining milk.
- Set batter aside and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C/Gas 8.
- Place a spoonful of dripping in each pudding mold and heat in the oven until piping hot and starting to smoke.
- Whisk the batter again and very carefully pour into the hot pudding tins, filling each compartment to about 3/4.
- Bake immediately for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Don't open the oven door apart from when you need to check if they are done for the first time after 10 minutes.
- If you're making one large pudding, it will take 30-40 minutes.
- They should be golden brown, risen on the outside with a deep depression in the centre. (sometimes they rise in the middle as well, but that doesn't really matter. ;D).

I have had Yorkshire pudding in the past but had never tried my hand at making them. This recipe was so easy to make and everyone really enjoyed them. I used about 3/4 teaspoon of salt, allowed the batter to rest as instructed and the puddings baked while we enjoyed a wonderful starter dish. They rose nicely and pulled away from the ramekin but the center remained in tact. I served these with Crockpot Beef Roast #133281 and Roasted New Potatoes with Lemon Horseradish recipe #170056. Definitely something I will make again
