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 our step by step slide show on how to make our Flawless Yorkshire Puddings. All ingredients and cook times are on the recipe card below.
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!

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!
How many does this make??..Thanks
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!
They look absolutely PERFECT!! I’ve never had yorkshire puddings, but having it with a roast dinner and some gravy sounds amazing!
It really is! Hope you enjoy.
I love your recipe! So easy to make, and it looks very delicious!

Pinned! I’ve never had a Yorkshire pudding, and I’ve certainly never made them before, but I’ve always wanted to! This post is great. Thanks for spelling every detail out for me and giving me plenty of pictures. This is going on my list 😀

Oh my goodness those look absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!

How interesting. I had a complete misunderstanding of yorkshire pudding. I thought it was just a dessert thing,
You can use them as a dessert too!
I need to make these. They sound so delicious and my family would love them
We all love it in our family!
I really enjoyed this recipe with all your lovely photos plus the tips on what to serve with Yorkshire pudding. I haven’t had this in quite a while, but maybe it’s time to try it again!
So versatile loads of options!
Omg these look amazing! Totally using the recipe!

I’ve always wanted to know how to make Yorkshire puddings. I love them so much and used to get them every Sunday as a child.

Thank you Enriqueta! 😉
These sound so good! I would love to try making them.
Go for it you will love it!
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
Enjoy!!
These looks delicioud
Hi Gari
They was delicious, hope you enjoy this recipe, we loved making these to have with our roast dinner!!
Enjoy!
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!!
Wow these are so cute n easy to make. A great treat for the little ones.
Hi Gari
Thank you I’m glad you like them, they went down a treat in our home over the Christmas holidays!
So yummy!.. looks easy to prepare as well.. Would love to try out.
Hi Sivaranjani
Thanks for your comment
These are easy to make and so tasty!
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?
Your Yorkshire pudding looks delicious, according to your guidelines/instructions it is easy to make.
Very easy to make!
I LOVE Yorkshire puds!
Another trick is to make them in mini muffin pans and top them with thinly sliced rare roast beef, dollop of horseradish cream and a silver of capcicum as a garnish for a delicious and beautiful looking canape.
Oh yes, that is another great one, I love horseradish!
The recipe never changes the oil, milk or flour measurements from 1× to 2× to 3× so PLEASE do the math😄: ½c oil, 1c milk, 1½c flour for 2×; ¾c oil, 1½c milk, 2¼c flour for 3×! They’re delicious!!!
Why have most of you ppl who comment NVR tried Yorkshire puds? What’s wrong with you?
This is the first recipe that actually works, and Ive tried lots. These come out big and beautiful.
Just make them and dip em in gravy, yum yum yum 😋😋😋😋😋😋
This is an excellent recipe and I live in Yorkshire. Perfect proportion of ingredients, not too ‘eggy’, very light and delicious. Thank you
Wow I made these today after many failed attempts with other recipes and am happy to report these actually came out just like the pictures on here….. Thank you for the easy to follow steps
Omgsh, these look amazing. Such memories of my childhood when my mom would make these following her grandma’s recipe from an old, stained notebook/cookbook. I appreciate the freezing tips because otherwise I may eat the whole batch. 😉
My family LOVES Yorshire pudding. Alwasy a must with roast beef. These look perfect, cripsy and delicious.
I adore Yorkshire puds, but gave up trying to make them as they’re just rubbish with wholemeal flour. Recently, however, I caved in and decided to make some with white flour. Boy were they good!
These are golden perfection, and perfect with a Sunday roast!
Omg yum those look really good! Gonna give it a try this weekend
I love these puddings, so delicious with a roast.
Your Yorkshires look perfect and what a good idea to make them ahead. My Dad always had his Yorkshire pudding served with gravy when he was a boy and then my Gran would serve up the Sunday Roast.
These look amazing. I’ve never had Yorkshire pudding, but now I can’t wait to try these!
These yorkshire puddings are so impressive and pretty easy to make, thanks for the step by step recipe!
I’ve never had Yorkshire pudding and clearly I have been missing out! Love that you broke down every step — can’t wait to try this!
Looks fabulous! And simple enough for me to give it a go!
I have never been able to make Yorkshire pudding until now! Thanks for the recipe!
These Yorkshire Puddings are making me drool right now! Yummy!
Flawless for sure! Love how this recipe is so versatile! YUM!
I love to order this at a restaurant but have always been too intimidated to attempt making myself. Thank you for this easy to follow recipe….I’m ready to take this on.
Seriously a roast beef dinner is not complete with these little gems. I love looking at the stuffed version. I could make a meal on these alone.
I made these for a fancy dinner with my family. Everyone gobbled them up. And they were easy to make if you follow the recipe.
Thanks Debi, so glad to hear the whole family enjoyed!
