Ingredients

Note: Notice there are no measurements for the flour and milk. That is because this recipe will depend on the measurement of eggs that you have. So, whatever the eggs measure up to you will need the same amount of flour and milk. For example: my eggs measured out to be 1 cup therefore I used 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole milk.

  • 4 eggs (large or small it doesn’t matter)
  • all-purpose flour
  • whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoons beef or pork fat, or rendered pork lard (use 1 teaspoons per pan cavity)

Instructions

Mix Ingredients And Rest

  1. In a medium bowl whisk eggs until fluffy. Slowly add flour and salt to eggs and whisk together. Then slowly add milk and whisk until batter is thinner and lump free. Cover bowl and set aside out of the way on the countertop at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

Prepare Pan

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

    For best results I recommend using this 12-cup aluminum pan but I have seen some people use regular muffin pans. I only know the positive outcome from my experience with using the 12-cup aluminum pan. Place 1 teaspoon, doesn’t have to be exact, scoop of beef or pork fat into each cavity.

    When all cavities are filled place the pan into the oven and bake for about 5 minutes. If you start to smell the fat cooking that is usually a good sign you are ready for the next step.

    Briefly whisk Yorkshire pudding mixture that has been sitting on the counter.

Bake

  1. Carefully remove heated pan with fat from oven. Working quickly, so the pan does not cool off, carefully pour Yorkshire pudding mixture into each cavity on top of the hot fat. Fill each cup 3/4 full and return pan to hot oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the Yorkshire pudding has a deep brown color on the tops without burning.

    TIP: DO NOT open the oven at all while baking as this may cause the Yorkshire Pudding to deflate.

    Carefully remove pan from oven and place on a protected surface. As the batter pudding cools it will begin to deflate so it is recommended to serve immediately. We have even been known to stand around the hot pan and eat it right then and there. You may want to have your meal on the plate as the Yorkshire pudding is coming out of the oven. Enjoy!
