Yorkshire Pudding: A Classic Side Dish That Deserves a Comeback

How to Make Perfect Yorkshire Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2–3 tablespoons beef drippings or vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3. Beat in eggs until smooth. Gradually add milk while whisking to form a thin batter.
4. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to an hour (this helps with rising).
5. Place a muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding tray in the oven with a little oil or beef drippings until very hot.
6. Carefully pour the batter into the hot oil, filling each cup about halfway.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven door until puffed and golden brown.

Serving Suggestions
