Yorkshire Pudding Recipe | Glen And Friends Cooking

Yorkshire Pudding Recipe. There is a lot of acrimony and argument over this rather simple basic Yorkshire Pudding Recipe. I have come across so many different ways to make this, that my head spins; and people get very passionate that their way is best. Some Yorkshire Pudding recipes are 1:1:1 by weight, some recipes are 1:1:1 by volume, some recipes throw that ratio out completely and start from scratch with different proportions.
Some Yorkshire pudding recipes use milk, some Yorkshire pudding recipes use water, some use different flours or combinations of them... Do you bake it in a large tin, or individual muffin cups?

What follows are two recipes that we use - the first is the recipe from the video, and the second is the one that our Mothers used.


Yorkshire Pudding Recipe #1
Ingredients:
4 large eggs (about 200 mL)
Flour to the same volume as the eggs
Milk to the same volume as the eggs
2 mL (½ tsp) coarse salt
Beef fat / Lard / oil for the muffin tins


Method:
In a large jug whisk the eggs, then whisk in the flour and salt.
Slowly whisk in the milk, until a smooth batter is achieved.
Let stand 1-2 hours on the counter, or overnight in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 230ºC (450ºF).
Place 1½ tsp of beef fat or lard in each muffin cup, then place in oven to get it hot.
Moving quickly, fill each muffing cup ⅔ - ¾ full and then return to the oven.
