Another great recipe, although we can’t claim this as our own! We originally followed Jamie Oliver’s recipe when it comes to making Yorkshire Puddings, a failsafe recipe for a Flawless Yorkshire pudding. Crispy and golden coloured on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside!
There are a few tips I want to point out though to make sure you get the results you see in the pictures below!
How to make the best Yorkshire Puddings?
We make our Yorkies ahead of anything else! They really need to have an oven dedicated to themself to get the best rise and crispiness needed.
We then pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to reheat them, whilst plating whatever we are serving them up with?
See below for the tools you will need.
What temperature oven for Yorkshire Puddings?
Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425 F it must be very hot. Use 1 teaspoon of Sunflower oil (Vegetable Oil works well too) in each hole of the cupcake/muffin tin/tray. Put into the oven for at least 10 minutes, to get piping hot whilst we prepare the Yorkshire pudding batter.
Simply sieve the flour, add eggs, salt & pepper and milk all in one mixing bowl
Next, use a hand blender to mix all together until smooth. (will only take a couple of minutes)
Once the oil has had 10 minutes remove from the oven and immediately add batter to each cupcake hole. Fill to about 1/2 full. Don’t let the batter drop between each hole as they will end up connecting to each other! We use a spoon to catch any drips preventing this from happening!
Next, place straight back into the oven and watch the magic happen!! They will rise before your eyes! It only takes between 12-15 minutes to get the perfect scrumptious Yorkshire Pudding. Golden and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside.
Can I freeze Yorkshires?
Yes, we only use 6 at a time so we often make 12 and freeze the other half until next needed.
Once the Yorkshire Puddings have cooled place in a freezer bag and place in freezer until needed. They will keep for 1 month.
No need to defrost them just put them in the oven at 200 C for 8 minutes to reheat
What to serve Yorkshire Puddings with?
Yorkshire puddings are traditionally served with Roast Beef, however, why limit to just beef?! We love it with all our Roast dinners!
You can see above and below served with our Glazed Gammon Joint and Homemade Apple Sauce.
We have been known to have our Yorkshire Puddings for Breakfast, Dinner and Dessert (not all at the same time mind you!)
Below are 3 ways we have had them for each!
Breakfast Yorkshire Pudding ideas
- Fried eggs
- Spread with Jam
- Bacon & Beans
Dinner Yorkshire Pudding ideas
- Sausage and mash
- Roast dinners
- Cheese and Pepperoni
Dessert Yorkshire Pudding ideas
- Melted chocolate

These look delicious. I’ve never tried them, but would love to! It’s so amazing how they popover like that.
Tamara, you got to give them a go, you will love them! Sweet or Savoury toppings you can choose!
I’ve always wanted to try these. I have a recipe for popovers which are in the same vein, but these look much easier to make. Thanks for the recipe!
They are really easy and look so impressive!
These look so cute and delicate, but sound really simple to make! I want to try them (:
They taste amazing too!
I grew up making Yorkshire pudding in an 8-inch square pan in lots of butter – so delicious – and thought that’s how everyone made them (can’t serve them to the GF members of my family now, of course, or until I find a GF version). How clever to bake little ones in a muffin tin!
We also make large ones which work well! We prefer these, im sure there is a way to make GF please share with me when you do!
I love Yorkshire pudding especially with a traditional Sunday roast!
We do too!
Oh yum, these look tasty! I’ve never tried them before, so I’m intrigued. I’ll have to make them for dinner one night.
Let us know how you get on!

These look almost like popovers that I used to make and get in certain restaurants many years ago. I never thought to put anything in them, though! I love the idea of the ham and applesauce!
Hi Marie
Yes they are very similar to popovers, we eat our Yorkshire puddings with a nice roast to soak up all the gravy
I hope you like this recipe if you do make them

My ex-husband was British and his sister-in-law made a delicious Yorkshire pudding. She stuffed them with bangers.
Hi Cindy
We love our Yorkshire puddings, you will love this recipe with a good roast dinner.
That recipe your sister in law made would have been a dish called Toad in the hole(Sausages in a large Yorkshire pudding), Great winter warming dish!
Enjoy!!

Thanks for your comment

Hope you enjoy this recipe if you make them 🙂
Mine did not make the holes in the middle….no fear, try and try again!
Oh no, I wonder what happened???? Do try again…..
Did you make sure the oil was hot (in the oven for about 30 min) before you added the mixture?
Love that these are made in a muffin tin. Wonder if you could make them gluten-free. I may have to try. Thanks
Do let us know how you get on?
