Yorkshire pudding is a traditional recipe originating from Yorkshire in the north of England and is usually served with roast beef. Serves 12.
2 cups of plain all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups of milk
oil, dripping, or lard
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Form a well in the center and add the beaten egg. Mix with a wooden spoon and gradually add the milk, beating the mixture until smooth. Leave the batter to rest for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 ° F (220 ° C).
Put 1/2 teaspoon of oil, dripping or lard into muffin tins. Place in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the fat is very hot and smoking.
Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, return to the oven and cook on the top shelf for 15-20 minutes, until they have risen and its golden browned. A common mistake is to open the oven to see if they are ready. Make sure you don’t make this mistake because they will collapse.
