Ingredients For The Perfect Batter For 4 People

How To Make The Perfect Yorkshire pudding Mix
- Mix all ingredients apart from oil,
- Whisk in blender until smooth, generally around 2-3 minute

- Add half a tsp oil to each hole in the Yorkshire pudding tin and heat for 5-10 minutes.

Tips For Getting Yorkshire Puddings Just Right
This is such a super easy recipe. However, like all simple things, it can still go wrong. So here are a few hints and tips to make your Yorkshire puddings perfect.
- When mixing make sure you get ALL the lumps out, you are looking for a consistency similar to cream or milkshake so its pours, but has a slightly heavy consistency not watery.
- Once made, keep your batter in the fridge; this can be all day, but as long as it’s at least 1 hour. If you keep it in the fridge, you can make the batter up to 24 hours before.
- You will get better Yorkshires with dripping; yes, olive oil works, but they are always that bit tastier with dripping.
- Make sure your oven is HOT before putting your pan in, also make sure your oil is HOT before adding your mixture to the muffin tray. If the oil or dripping is not hot enough the puddings will not rise.
- Try to avoid opening the oven whilst the puddings are rising.
Can You Freeze Home Made Yorkshire Puddings?
Yes, you can make homemade Yorkshire puddings in batches and freeze them for a month. Once cooked, allow them to cool and put in airtight containers. To reheat, put the frozen Yorkshire puddings onto a baking tray and cook at 200c for 8 minutes until thoroughly warmed through
