Yorkshire pudding is a classic British side dish made from a simple batter and baked to golden, puffed perfection. With its light, airy texture, it pairs beautifully with roast beef or chicken and is best enjoyed topped with rich gravy. Whether you let the batter rest for a lighter pudding or bake it straight away, this comforting dish is always a hit!
Combine all ingredients to make a thick grave like batter. (At this point let the batter rest for 1 hour if you have the time, but it isn't necessary. Resting makes the pudding lighter.)
Put 1/2 tsp vegetable or canola oil in the bottom of each muffin cup in a 12 count muffin tin. Then, put the empty tin with the oil into your preheated oven and let it heat for a few minutes—about 5-7 minutes—until the oil.
Divide batter among muffin tins and bake at 425 for 20 minutes or 350 for 30-40 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Makes 12. Serve topped with gravy.
