Mary Berry Yorkshire Pudding Recipe for 4

Mary Berry’s Yorkshire Pudding is a traditional British side dish made from a simple batter baked in very hot fat. The high heat causes the batter to rise dramatically, creating a crisp exterior and airy interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g plain flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 150ml whole milk

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 23 tablespoons oil or beef dripping (for the tin)

Instructions

  • Make the batter: Whisk flour, eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth, lump-free, and slightly thick.

  • Rest the mixture: Let the batter sit for 20–30 minutes for better rise and texture.

  • Heat the tin: Add a little oil or dripping into each cavity of the muffin tin and place it in a 220°C (425°F) oven until the fat is smoking hot.

  • Pour in the batter: Quickly fill each hot cavity halfway with batter – the sizzle helps them rise.

  • Bake until risen: Cook for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven door, until puffed and deep golden.

  • Serve immediately: Enjoy while hot for the best texture and flavor.
