Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

The most important thing is to get the oven really hot and the oil really hot so that the mixture sizzles when added.

If using a fan-forced oven, reduce the flour to 2 tablespoons.

How do you make Yorkshire puddings rise?

The key to making Yorkshire puddings that rise and puff up beautifully is to make sure the oil in the pan is hot, so that the mixture starts to rise immediately. Make sure the oven has come to temperature, then place the pan with the oil in the oven for 5 minutes or until hot.

What kind of oil is best to use for Yorkshire puddings?

You can use canola oil, olive oil or vegetable oil for Yorkshire puddings.
