Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until light and frothy, achieving a pale yellow hue (2 minutes).

02

Step

Gradually whisk in the milk and flour until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thin, lightly coating the back of a spoon (3 minutes).

03

Step

Transfer the batter to a 4-cup measuring cup for easy pouring. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

04

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with the oven rack positioned in the center.

05

Step

Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted beef fat into each cup of a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin. Use your finger to generously grease the sides and tops of each cup. Place the prepared tin on a baking sheet.

06

Step

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven until the fat is smoking hot, a crucial step for achieving maximum puff (10-15 minutes).

07

Step

Remove the tin from the oven and working quickly, spoon the chilled batter into the cups, filling each one approximately halfway.

08

Step

Return the tin to the oven and bake until the puddings are golden brown, impressively puffed, and crisp around the edges (25 minutes).

09

Step

Remove from the oven and immediately poke a small hole in the center of each pudding to release steam, preventing them from becoming soggy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, ideally alongside a succulent roast.

For an extra crispy result, ensure the beef fat is smoking hot before adding the batter.
Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the puddings to deflate.
If beef fat is unavailable, you can substitute with duck fat or a high-quality vegetable oil, though the flavor will be slightly different.
For a vegetarian option, consider using a high-quality vegetable oil infused with roasted garlic and herbs for added flavor.

    I was skeptical about chilling the batter, but it really works! Best Yorkshire puddings I've ever made.

    Fantastic recipe! Clear instructions and great results.

    A bit too greasy for my liking, I'll try with less fat next time.

  • Rhett Braun

    I didn't have beef fat, so I used olive oil and they were still good, but I'll definitely try it with beef fat next time.

  • Frankie Roob

    I accidentally overfilled the cups and they overflowed a bit, but they still tasted amazing!

  • Alejandra Sawayn

    My family devoured these. So easy and delicious!
