Best Ever Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix the flour and salt and sift them into a large mixing bowl.
• Make a well and add the eggs, 1 1/2tbsp of the beef dripping, half the milk and beat everything until smooth and all the lumps have gone.
• Whisk in the remaining milk.
• Set batter aside and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C/Gas 8.
• Place a spoonful of dripping in each pudding mold and heat in the oven until piping hot and starting to smoke.
• Whisk the batter again and very carefully pour into the hot pudding tins, filling each compartment to about 3/4.
• Bake immediately for approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Don't open the oven door apart from when you need to check if they are done for the first time after 10 minutes.
• If you're making one large pudding, it will take 30-40 minutes.
• They should be golden brown, risen on the outside with a deep depression in the centre. (sometimes they rise in the middle as well, but that doesn't really matter. ;D).

SKY HIGH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Whisk in the flour one cup at a time until frothy and well blended. Set aside.
• Distribute the oil equally among 12 muffin cups, a little over a teaspoon per cup. Place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until smoking. Remove from the oven and quickly ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into each cup.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve immediately. I turn my oven off and leave the door partially open with the yorkies inside to keep them from deflating while waiting for everyone to ask for seconds.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Make the batter before removing the prime rib from the oven: Combine the eggs and half-and-half in a bowl and whisk until they're totally combined. Throw the flour and 2 teaspoons salt into a sifter and sift them straight into the bowl. Whisk until it's nice and smooth, then refrigerate until the prime rib is ready.
• After the beef is removed from the pan, increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppercorns, herbs and excess salt from the drippings. Pour the remaining drippings into a separate container. They should be speckled and lovely!
• Pour a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon or so) of the drippings into each cup of a standard muffin pan and place the pan in the hot oven for a couple of minutes, or until just before the drippings begin to smoke.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately fill the muffin cups about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake 13 to 14 minutes, or until they've "popped" about as much as they can pop. Serve them in a basket with a pretty napkin right next to the prime rib.
• Move the oven rack to the bottom and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F, then start with the seasoning: Grab the peppercorns and throw them in a big plastic bag and pound them with a rolling pin to break them open. Pull the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Throw the crushed peppercorns into a bowl with the salt and herb leaves and add the minced garlic. Use your fingers to toss it all together, then set it aside.
• Place the beef, fat-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil all over the surface and rub it in with your hands. Sprinkle the peppercorn-herb-salt mixture all over the surface of the beef, pressing it lightly with your hands.
• Roast the beef 45 minutes for the first stage. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and insert a meat thermometer sideways into the roast. Roast the beef an additional 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 120 degrees F to 135 degrees F in the center for medium rare. (The meat will continue to cook for a bit after you remove it from the oven.)
• Remove the beef from the rack and let it rest about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. When you're ready to serve, carve it into slices of your preferred width.

BEST-EVER YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Mix in the salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Create a well in the flour and add the eggs, milk, cold water and mustard. Mix well. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. If there are lumps strain through a fine sieve into a jug for pouring. The consistency should be like whipping cream; if it is too thick, pour in a bit more milk.
• Divide the vegetable oil between a 12-tin muffin tray and place in the preheated oven for at least 5 minutes. It is really important that the oil is sizzling hot, almost smoking.
• Working quickly, pull the tin out of the oven and fill the muffin holes ¾ full of batter. If you want giant Yorkies, fill them right to the top (you'll just have less). Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
• Bake for 20 minutes. The puds should be golden brown and crispy. If they're not crispy, they will sink as soon as they come out of the oven.

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, milk, eggs and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until smooth-be sure not to over mix. Let sit for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spoon 1 teaspoon beef fat into each hole of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and cook until the fat melts and the pan is very hot, 5 to 6 minutes. Working quickly, pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each tin about halfway. Bake until the puddings are golden brown and very puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

GORDON RAMSAY'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blend until well combined and place in the refrigerator until ready to use (allow to rest for at least 30 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Put 1 teaspoon of the oil (or beef drippings) into each section of a 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tray and put into the oven on the top shelf until very hot, almost smoking.
• As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters fill the tins (it should sizzle) and immediately put back into the oven.
• Bake until the Yorkshire puddings are well risen, golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.

GRANDMA'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place about a tablespoon of beef drippings into each cup of a 6 cup muffin tin.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until well blended. Stir in the milk, flour and salt. Fill the muffin cups about half way.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8.
• Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or two 12-hole non-stick muffin tins and place in the oven to heat through.
• To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in 4 eggs until smooth.
• Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes.
• Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned.
• Serve immediately. You can now cool them and freeze for up to 1 month.
