Yorkshire pudding

  • Made with just eggs, flour, milk, and a pinch of salt, this recipe is pantry-friendly and easy to whip up.
  • Despite its fancy name and appearance, Yorkshire pudding is surprisingly simple to make.
  • They're not just for roast dinners! Yorkshire puddings can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients, making them adaptable to any meal.

With its golden, crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a Sunday roast or a standalone treat.

I intended to serve those for breakfast, but the kids came home from school and gobbled them in less than 15 minutes before I even took more pictures.

One of my kids enjoyed these as a sweet after-school snack with some honey and butter. The other two loved it as is, filled with Labneh and roast beef slices.

Ingredients you'll need

  • All purpose flour, just plain flour.

Step by step: instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

  1. Whisk eggs with salt in a large bowl, then mix in milk and flour.
  2. You'll end up with a runny batter. Let the Yorkshire pudding batter rest in the fridge for two hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Pour about a teaspoon of oil into each of the muffin cups and pop it in the oven until it is almost smoking hot. Carefully take the hot pan out and pour ¼ cup of the cold batter into each cup over the hot oil. Bake undisturbed for 20 minutes.
  4. While they are baking, prepare your filling. I mixed up the cheese, Za'atar spice, olive oil and prepared my roast beef slices.

My notes

  • The oil or drippings must be smoking hot before adding the batter to achieve that signature rise, you will hear it sizzle.
  • Do not open the oven door before 20 minutes; this is important.
  • The more the batter rests in the refrigerator, the taller the Yorkshire puddings will be, so overnight is the best.
  • You can use whole milk, but keep in mind that low-fat milk makes the Yorkshire pudding puffier and more crisp.

Storage and reheating

Room temperature - Place them in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Freeze - Freeze individually on a sheet pan until hardened, then place them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat - Place them in a preheated oven to crips them up again before serving.

Perfect pairings: what to serve with

The puddings are traditionally served with gravy, roast beef and vegetables. But really they are very good any time of the day, I loved them paired with these Za'atar Labneh for a delicious snack. Or you can serve them with eggs for breakfast.
