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.

• Bake in preheated oven 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake 25 minutes more or until puffed and golden.

MY MUM'S EASY AND TRADITIONAL ENGLISH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 240C,475F or gas mark 9. (If you are cooking roast beef and/or roast potatoes, make sure the beef has been removed to "rest" before carving and that the potatoes are moved down to the bottom shelf and NEED browning still.).
• Pour a scant amount of oil or dripping into your Yorkshire Pudding tins.(A large roasting tin can be used too. If you do not have a Yorkshire Pudding tin which has 4 wide and shallow cups of about 4" in diameter, then use a large muffin tin.).
• Put the tin into the pre-heated oven about 5 minutes before you want to cook the Yorkshire Puddings.
• Empty the flour, salt & pepper into a large roomy bowl.
• Make a dip in the centre and add the beaten eggs bit by bit, mixing as you go along.
• Add the water/milk mixture gradually and whisk in between each addition.
• Keep whisking until all the liquids have been added. The batter may still be lumpy - this does not matter.
• Cover and leave to rest for up to 1 hour.
• Just before cooking, whisk thoroughly again to break down any lumps & add some more air.
• Carefully take out the tin/s. Pour the batter into the tin/s and QUICKLY return to the oven.
• Cook for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. DO NOT open the oven in the first 10-15 minutes or they will DROP!
• If you have two tins cooking, rotate the tins from top to bottom shelves after the 10-15 minutes so they cook evenly.
• Serve with Roast Beef and lashings of gravy!
• Can also be served with any Roast Dinner - we love them with Roast Chicken - see photos!

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt together until blended. Make a well in the flour, add the milk, and whisk until consistent. Beat the eggs into the batter. Add water and beat again until the mixture is light and frothy. Set aside for an hour (or, if it's the day before, cover in the fridge overnight).
• If the batter has been refrigerated, allow it to come up to room temperature before using. When the roast beef is ready to come out of the oven, ready the mixture.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Pour off drippings from roast beef and measure out desired amount (about 1/2 cup should do). Pour drippings into a 9x12 inch baking dish and place into the oven until the drippings sizzle. Pour the batter over the drippings and bake for 30 minutes (or until the sides have risen and are golden brown). Cut into eight portions and 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.
