Yorkshire pudding is a classic, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside dish that perfectly complements a roast beef dinner with lashings of gravy. The secret? Start with hot, sizzling butter to make these puff up beautifully!
Gather your eggs, milk, flour, and butter. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour, mixing just until the batter is lump-free.
Divide the butter evenly among the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin—about 1/2 teaspoon per cup. Place the tin in the hot oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the butter melts and starts to sizzle.
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Quickly pour the batter into each cup, dividing it evenly.
Return the tin to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for about 25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed and golden.
Remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately alongside your roast beef dinner and plenty of gravy.
