Delicious Yorkshire Pudding: Egg Usage Made Simple

I grew up eating Yorkshire pudding with roasts.

I thought they were the best thing ever invented. They are delicious and also a great way to use up eggs, in case you ever have that problem. Growing up, we had to order enough eggs at one time to last us a month, so there was inevitably a flat or two that needed to be turned into a quantity of food.

**If you have time and are making the Roast Beast, make this during the first 3 hour cook time and store it in the refrigerator until the meat is done. The time to rest improves the texture.**

Yorkshire Pudding

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Resting Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 c. milk
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 t. salt

Instructions

  1. Blitz eggs in blender on high.
  2. Add milk and blend for 30 seconds.
  3. Add flour and salt and blend for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. If you have time, refrigerate mix for an hour or overnight.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 400*.
  6. Fill each cup in a muffin tin with 1 t. oil or coat the bottom of an iron skillet.
  7. Pre-heat pan in oven until oil is almost smoking.
  8. If you don’t do this first, the puddings will not puff properly!
  9. Pour batter into pan, filling 1/2 full.
  10. Immediately return pan to oven (I usually just pull the rack out and pour batter directly into the pan while on the rack).
  11. Bake 25-30 minutes or until well puffed, golden brown and crispy on top.
