Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Sift the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Sifting helps prevent lumps in the batter.

2. 2

   Create a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into it.

   Ongeveer 1 min

3. 3

   Whisk the eggs into the flour gradually, incorporating small amounts of flour from the sides.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Start with the eggs and slowly add the flour to create a smooth paste first, then thin it out.

4. 4

   Slowly add the milk and water to the mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure there are no lumps; a smooth batter is key for good rise.

5. 5

   Stir in the salt.

6. 6

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.

   Ongeveer 30 min

   Tip van de kok: Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter pudding.

7. 7

   Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

   Ongeveer 15 min

   Tip van de kok: A very hot oven is crucial for the puddings to rise properly.

8. 8

   Divide the vegetable oil evenly among the cups of a 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tin or a 12-hole muffin tin.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the oil is evenly distributed in the bottom of each cup.

9. 9

   Place the tin with the oil in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: The oil must be extremely hot before adding the batter.

10. 10

    Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and quickly pour the batter into each cup, filling them about one-third full.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: Work quickly to keep the oil hot; do not fill more than 1/3 full to allow for maximum rise.

11. 11

    Immediately return the tin to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and well-risen.

    Ongeveer 20 min

    Tip van de kok: Do not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking, as this can cause the puddings to collapse.

12. 12

    Serve the Yorkshire puddings immediately with your favorite roast dinner and gravy.
