Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup beef drippings or vegetable oil
- Cooked roast beef, sliced
- Gravy for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for creating the perfect rise in your Yorkshire puddings.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- While the batter is resting, place 1/4 cup of beef drippings or vegetable oil into a 12-cup muffin tin or a large baking dish. Make sure to distribute the fat evenly across the cups or the bottom of the dish.
- Place the muffin tin or baking dish in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the oil is hot and shimmering. This step is crucial for achieving crispy edges on your Yorkshire puddings.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully remove the tin from the oven. Quickly pour the rested batter evenly into each cup, filling them about halfway.
- Return the tin to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Yorkshire puddings have risen and are golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to ensure they rise properly.
- While the Yorkshire puddings are baking, slice your cooked roast beef into thin pieces and prepare your gravy.
- Once the Yorkshire puddings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. They should be puffed up and crispy on the outside.
- To assemble the sandwiches, slice each Yorkshire pudding in half horizontally. Layer the sliced roast beef inside and drizzle with hot gravy.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious Hot Yorkshire Pudding Sandwiches!
Tips
- Temperature is key: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F for maximum pudding rise.
- Don't rush the batter: Let it rest for 10 minutes to develop the right consistency.
- Hot oil is crucial: The oil must be shimmering hot before adding the batter to create crispy edges.
- Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent Yorkshire puddings from deflating.
- Use fresh, high-quality roast beef for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately while the puddings are still warm and crispy.
- For extra flavor, consider using beef drippings instead of vegetable oil.
- A whisk is your best friend—use it to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Choose a heavy-based muffin tin or baking dish for even heat distribution.
- Experiment with different gravies to find your perfect flavor combination.
