  5. Put ½ tbsp oil or beef dripping into each hole of your Yorkshire pudding tins (you’ll have enough batter to make 12 x 12cm puddings), then heat the tins in the oven for 5 minutes until smoking hot.
  6. Remove the tins from the oven and quickly pour batter into the holes to just below the rim (they should bubble a little).yorkshire-pudding-step-4
  7. Return to the oven and cook for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until risen, golden and crisp.

Quick wins & tips

The golden rules of a perfect Yorkshire pud are to ensure you have a very hot oven, the oil should be sizzling, and to keep the oven door shut.

Make Ahead

Keep somewhere dry, then reheat in a hot over for 5 minutes to crisp them up again.
