Pioneer Woman Yorkshire Pudding

Pioneer Woman Yorkshire Pudding is made with half-and-half, eggs, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and beef drippings or vegetable oil. This easy Yorkshire pudding recipe creates a delicious side dish that takes about 33 minutes to prepare and can serve up to 12 people.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 cup half-and-half (240 ml)
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• Beef drippings or vegetable oil, for the muffin pan

How To Make Yorkshire Pudding:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and eggs until fully combined.
3. Sift dry ingredients: Sift the flour and kosher salt directly into the egg mixture, then whisk until smooth and lump-free.
4. Prepare the muffin pan: Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of beef drippings (or vegetable oil) into each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan.
5. Heat the drippings: Place the pan in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes until the drippings are hot but not smoking.
6. Fill the muffin cups: Carefully remove the hot pan and immediately fill each muffin cup halfway to three-quarters full with the batter.
7. Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the Yorkshire puddings are puffed up and golden.

Recipe Tips

• Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure the eggs and half-and-half are at room temperature to help the batter rise better in the oven.
• Let the batter rest: Let the batter sit for about 10-15 minutes before using it. This helps the flour fully absorb the liquid, making the pudding fluffier.
• Preheat the muffin pan: Heat the pan with the drippings in the oven before adding the batter. This step is key to getting that perfect crispy edge.
• Avoid opening the oven door: Don’t open the oven while the puddings are baking, as this can cause them to deflate.
• Serve immediately: Yorkshire puddings are best served right away while they’re still hot and puffy, so plan to serve them as soon as they come out of the oven.
