Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Refrigerate the mixture overnight or allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
If you have refrigerated the batter, set it 30 minutes to an hour before you plan to use it, as you are aiming for it to come to room temperature or close.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the baking pan inside the oven as it preheats; we want the pans to be hot before pouring the batter in. You will also want to position your oven rack to the upper half of the oven.
Spray the hot pans with nonstick cooking spray or whatever you are using to grease the pans with. Then pour the batter in, filling the cups around half to 2/3 full.
Bake for 15 minutes. The Yorkshire puddings should puff up and turn golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

I use nonstick cooking spray to prep the baking pans, but you could also use butter, clarified butter, vegetable oil, shortening or beef drippings.

Overnight rest – It’s worth it! I do feel this deepens the flavor as well as makes the Yorkshire puddings rise higher when baked. I also like how this makes them easy to make ahead of a big holiday meal. That being said, you can still have success with this recipe if you only rest the batter for shorter periods, one hour being a good minimum.

You can make this batter in a blender or food processor if you like.

What pans to use? I have baked this recipe in standard size muffin tins as well as popover pans, which have a much deeper well or cup. It will work just fine in either with the same bake time. If you use mini muffin trays, or a larger pans like oversized ramekins you can still have success but you may need to adjust the bake time.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can rewarm these for 30-40 seconds in the microwave or air fry for a couple minutes to reheat.
