FAQs

How do I make sure my Yorkshire puddings don't stick? ›

The oven should be hot – we're talking 220C/200C Fan/Gas 6. Preheating your pan and oil (as well as your oven) ensures that steam will form as soon as the batter goes into it, causing it to puff up and get that glorious rise. On a practical level, it also means that the batter is far less likely to stick to the pan.

Wipe Instead of Washing

If you plan to clean your pudding tins before using them, never wash them with soap and water. This spoils the surface of the tins and can cause the batter to stick and thus prevent puddings from rising. Just wipe the tins clean with a paper towel before and after use.

The wide, shallow cups of the Le Creuset Yorkshire pudding tray are the ideal size and shape for allowing batter to rise to perfection.

You can also make Yorkshire pudding in a regular muffin tin or a cast-iron skillet.

There's no need for the batter to stand, or to be made in advance. Preheat your oven to 200°C and put a small amount of beef dripping or lard (vegetable oil, if you must, but it won't taste as good) into the silicone bakeware and let it melt as the oven heats up.

Resting the batter overnight is key for developing better flavor. Forget about cold batter: letting it rest at room temperature helps it rise taller as it bakes. A combination of milk and water gives the Yorkshire puddings extra rise and crispness.

The batter should be about as thick as double cream (so easily pourable but with some body). Why do my Yorkshire puddings rise then go flat? It might be because the oven door was opened while they were cooking. Yorkshire puddings need a consistently high heat to rise fully and set.

Gordon's top tip: To make 14-16 smaller Yorkshire puddings, put 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into each hole of a deep muffin tin (each cup measuring about 7cm diameter x 2.5cm deep), then heat up as described in step 2, before pouring in the batter. Bake the Yorkshires for 12-15 minutes.

Be sure to close the oven door slowly so you don't force all the hot air out. Oh, and don't open the door to check on progress – the cold air will make your puds sag. Keep an eye on your creations through the glass door of the oven. When they rise and look golden-brown and crisp on top, they're done.
