    Tall, golden, and impossibly puffy, Yorkshire pudding is a crisp-edged bowl of batter made for catching gravy. It rises dramatically in the oven and sinks just as fast, which only makes it more endearing.

    An essential partner to the Sunday roast, Yorkshire pudding is also lovely stuffed with sausages or served with onion gravy as a starter. Use the roast’s hot drippings for the best flavor and the tallest rise.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Whisk the flour, salt, and white pepper, then beat in the eggs, milk, and water until the batter is smooth. Rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
    2. Heat the oven to 425°F. Divide the drippings among a 12-cup muffin tin (about 1 tsp each) and heat in the oven until smoking hot, 5-7 minutes.
    3. Working quickly, pour the batter into the hot cups until two-thirds full.
    4. Bake without opening the door until puffed, deep golden, and crisp, 18-22 minutes.
    5. Serve immediately with gravy and a grind of black pepper.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    The batter must be thin and well rested, and the fat must be smoking hot — that contrast is what creates the dramatic puff. Never open the oven door mid-bake.
