Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs (200g)
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 175g whole milk
- 100ml beef drippings or oil
Seasoning:
- 25g water
- 2g kosher salt
Instructions
- Vigorously blend eggs, flour, milk, water, and salt in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Allow the mixture to relax and settle at room temperature for half an hour, or refrigerate overnight for enhanced volume and texture.
- Position oven rack in middle position and heat to a scorching 230°C, simultaneously warming a muffin tin with a thin layer of oil until it’s sizzling hot.
- Carefully distribute the batter into each oil-coated muffin cavity, filling approximately two-thirds full.
- Slide the tin into the preheated oven and resist opening the door to maintain consistent high temperature.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring until puddings dramatically rise and transform into a rich, golden-brown color with crisp exterior edges.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately while puffy and warm to capture maximum visual and textural appeal.
Notes
- Rest the batter at room temperature or overnight to develop gluten and enhance rising potential.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free batter and consistent rise.
- Choose a heavy-based muffin tin or specialized Yorkshire pudding tray for maximum puffiness and even cooking.
- For gluten-free version, substitute plain flour with gluten-free flour blend and add xanthan gum for structure.
