Hairy Bikers Yorkshire Pudding Recipe
The Hairy Bikers Yorkshire Pudding Recipe is a true British classic. It is golden, crispy outside and soft inside. This Hairy Bikers Yorkshire Pudding Recipe rises beautifully in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or beef drippings
Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Heat the Oil
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the muffin tin inside the oven. Add a small amount of oil into each section. Let the oil heat until very hot. This step is important for rising.
Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Make a small well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well. Whisk slowly while adding milk. Mix until smooth and lump free. The batter should be thin.
Rest the Batter
- Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb liquid properly. Resting improves texture and rise. Do not skip this step. It makes a big difference.
Pour Batter into Hot Oil
- Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven. The oil should be sizzling. Quickly pour batter into each section, filling halfway. Work fast so the oil stays hot. Return tray to oven immediately.
Bake Without Opening the Oven
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking. Cold air can stop them from rising. Watch through the oven glass instead. They should puff up and turn golden brown.
Remove and Serve Immediately
- Once tall and golden, remove from the oven. Serve right away while hot. Yorkshire puddings taste best fresh. The outside stays crisp and the inside remains soft.
Notes
- Make sure oil is very hot before adding batter.
- Do not open the oven door while baking.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk.
- For extra flavor, use beef drippings instead of oil.
- Add herbs like rosemary for a twist.
- Make mini versions for appetizers.
- Serve with sweet toppings for dessert style.
