Sky High Yorkshire Pudding
Recipe:
Equal parts by volume of egg, milk and flour.
For example:
Crack 4 eggs into a measure cup and note the volume.
Mix those eggs with the same volume of flour, and then mix in the same again volume of milk.
Add a pinch of salt.
Method:
- This batter (any Yorkshire pudding batter for that matter) works best if let rest in the fridge for 12 - 24 hours.
- If you let it rest, don’t add the salt until just before baking.
- Pre-heat your oven and (dry) pan to 475ºF.
- Once pan is heated, add a high smoke point oil to each cup.
- Now heat the pan and the oil again, until the oil is just about smoking.
- Quickly fill each cup ½ to ⅔ of the way and place back in the oven.
- Bake at 475ºF until the Yorkshires have stopped growing.
- Turn the oven down to 350ºF and bake 15 - 20 minutes more.
