  • 4 large eggs Ensure at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Cooking

Preparation

  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
  5. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Add a small amount of oil into each cavity of a muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding tray, about 1 teaspoon per cavity.
  2. Place the tin in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until the oil is very hot and shimmering.
  3. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into each cavity, filling them halfway.
  4. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puddings have risen and turned a deep golden brown.
  5. Do not open the oven door during baking.
  6. Once ready, carefully remove the puddings from the tin and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and allow the batter to rest. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
