How to make Yorkshire puddings
How to make crisp, golden, puffed-up Yorkshire puddings, courtesy of the BBC Good Food cookery team.
Points to remember
- You can make the batter up to 24 hours ahead, or use it straight away. If making ahead, cover and chill.
- Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8.
- Pour a little vegetable or sunflower oil into each hole of a muffin tray and heat for at least 10 minutes until hot.
- Put your flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack the eggs into the well and mix to a smooth, thick paste - a whisk is best for this.
- Whisk in the milk gradually to make a smooth batter. Pour into a jug.
- Remove the tray from the oven and quickly pour in the batter while the oil is still hot. The batter should sizzle.
- Place in the oven immediately and cook for 15-20 minutes until firm, golden and risen.
- Don’t be tempted to open the oven door before 15 minutes, or the Yorkshires may sink. They should be deep golden brown before you open the door.

When I do Yorkshire puddings they seem to collapse well after I get them out of the oven but I do leave them in the oven until I am ready to get them out is there a reason why they do that
