Instructions
Tips
Beat the batter intensely to avoid lumps. You want the mixture to be smooth and well combined. This also helps incorporate air into the pudding batter, giving the Yorkies their classic puffy look.
Tips
Make sure not to overfill the tins. We recommend filling them about two-thirds of the way full to allow them to rise evenly and not overflow. You can experiment with size if you like bigger Yorkshire puddings.
Tips
Resist the temptation to open the oven door when the Yorkshire puddings are baking. Doing so might cause the puddings to deflate, which means they lose their much-desired puffy appearance and texture.

Golden, crisp, and puffy
Yorkshire puddings have a golden exterior that can make any food lover weak in the knees. Their appealing golden hue is complemented by a puffy texture that delights the senses as you bite into them. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the light, airy interior is what truly defines them. These pillow-soft and puffy delights are a traditional British side dish that can easily impress guests and pair well with various main courses.
Serve with hearty dishes
Yorkshire puddings are a quintessential companion to a traditional and hearty British roast dinner. The most popular pairing is serving the puddings alongside savoury roast beef. With tender slices of beef, roasted vegetables, and a generous drizzle of gravy, the Yorkshire puddings are allowed their time in the spotlight. You can even use the soft insides of the puddings to soak up any leftover gravy.
Similarly, Yorkshire puddings pair excellently with beef stew, offering a delightful mix of flavours and a contrast in textures. The puddings complement the chewy meat and juicy stew, absorbing the delicious juices.
Another staple of British cuisine is bangers and mash. Adding Yorkshire puddings to this dish introduces an extra layer of tradition and indulgence. The savoury sausages, creamy mashed potatoes, and caramelised onions are perfectly complemented by Yorkshire puddings, making the meal even more satisfying.

Put your own spin on the Yorkies
Tradition and history are important – but not so important that you cannot get creative and experiment with the Yorkshire pudding recipe.
Infuse the pudding batter with different herbs and spices. Choose anything from aromatic herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage to warmer spices like garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper. For a more indulgent touch, add shredded cheese like cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère. They will add a savoury element to the puddings.
Also, try adding filling to the puddings like cooked bacon, pancetta, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted vegetables.
