How to Make Traditional Yorkshire Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan/Gas Mark 7/425°F).
  2. Sift 140g plain flour into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Create a well in the centre of the flour. Add 4 large eggs and whisk vigorously, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges using a hand whisk or electric whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Gradually whisk in 150ml milk and 50ml water, until you have a smooth batter with a consistency similar to single cream.
  5. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter puddings.
  6. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to each section of a 12-hole muffin tin. Place the tin in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the oil is shimmering and very hot.
  7. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Quickly and evenly divide the batter among the hot oil-filled holes in the tin.
  8. Return the tin to the oven on a high shelf and bake for 34-40 minutes, or until the puddings are golden brown and crispy. Resist the urge to open the oven door during cooking!
