What Is A Yorkshire Pudding?
Now, of course, there will be people out there who have no idea what a Yorkshire Pudding is. Pay attention because your mind is about to be blown! It’s a baked pudding, using batter, which can then accompany your meal. They can be a fantastic side dish to a number of meals and are often found with the Sunday roast. The first recording of the Yorkshire Pudding comes from a book in 1737 titled The Whole Duty Of A Woman. Rather than Yorkshire Pudding, it was listed as a Dripping Pudding. This used the dripping of spit roast meat.

Now, many of us, especially if we’re only cooking for a couple of people, might think it’s too much effort to make Yorkshire Puddings from scratch.

The following ingredients are perfect for our ultimate Yorkshire Pudding recipe for 2. If you are cooking for more people, simply multiply the amounts as you need.
Your Ingredients
The ingredients are so simple, you might have them in your cupboards and fridge already! You just need 1 egg, 4 tablespoons of milk, 4 tablespoons of plain flour, a pinch of salt and some oil. Are you following so far? Simple isn’t it!
The Method, No Madness
Firstly sieve the flour into a bowl and chuck in your pinch of salt. In a jug, crack your egg and ensure you don’t get any shell in there. If you do, use another bit of shell to get it out, they will attach to each other easier than to a spoon! Mix it together and then pour in your milk and mix again. Add this into your bowl, stirring together until you have a smooth, velvety and runny batter. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Whilst your batter is standing, get a muffin tin or bun tin and add a drizzle of sunflower oil or olive oil into each section. Pop this in the oven at about 220°C and when it starts smoking, bring back out and pour in your batter before returning to the oven. Leave this for 15 – 20 minutes until they have risen and are golden brown. Do no open your oven until you are ready to take them out, simply keep an eye on them through the door and switch the oven light on to help. Serve immediately.
Modify For You
There are variations to the recipe should you wish. Instead of using oil, use some fat from the meat you’re roasting for Sunday dinner. It will give a fantastic flavour to your Puddings. If you are vegetarian or vegan, use sunflower oil and you can opt for oat milk rather than cows milk. There are gluten free variations too.
