Yorkshire Pudding

My kids love helping me make this Yorkshire Pudding recipe. They practically make the complete recipe themselves (aside from handling the hot pan). What they love most is sitting in front of the oven while watching the puddings quickly take form inside of the hot buttery muffin tins. they sit with anticipation and pick out the ones that they want to eat with their dinner.

Yorkshire Pudding Questions Answered:

What is Yorkshire Pudding?

It’s a rich and savory dinner bread or roll that is served alongside equally rich meat like a pot roast or prime rib. It’s traditionally made from the pan drippings of meat while the meat cooks.

What do they call Yorkshire Puddings in America?

In America, we sometimes call them popovers. Although, I grew up in New England and we called them Yorkshire Puddings there.

How to Make Yorkshire Puddings?

In a medium bowl vigorously whisk together the eggs and milk until combined and a homogeneous mixture forms, about 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the flour and salt until combined and no flour pockets remain. Refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 425 degrees F. Add 1/2 tablespoon of melted butter or beef drippings to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. Then, moving quickly, remove the muffin tin from the oven and fill each muffin cup 3/4 of the way full with batter.
Place the muffin tin back in the 425-degree oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the Yorkshire puddings are golden brown in color.
Puncture each pudding with a wooden skewer, and then remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Cook’s Note – Yorkshire Pudding Recipe:

My favorite way to make this recipe is by using beef pan drippings. The flavor that the drippings give to these savory puddings is beyond delicious. In a pinch, butter can be used as well.
These are best served warm and within minutes of them coming out of the oven. They will keep for about 2-3 days after baking them, but you will need to reheat them in the oven before serving.
