Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil or beef drippings (for greasing the pan)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin or a Yorkshire pudding tin in the oven as it heats. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or beef drippings (about 1/2 teaspoon) to each cup.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, and salt until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. You can also use a blender for this step.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting period helps the puddings rise better in the oven.
- Fill the Tins: Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Quickly pour the batter into each cup, filling them about halfway full. Work quickly, so the tin and oil remain hot.
- Bake: Place the filled muffin tin back in the oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the Yorkshire puddings have risen, are golden brown, and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately while they are puffed up and crisp. Traditionally, they are served with roast beef and gravy, but they can accompany various dishes.
