Recipe For Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire Puddings are traditionally served with roast beef. Beth remembers her mom making these for Sunday dinners with gravy, mashed potatoes, and roast. She remembers them being the best part of the meal. She thought everyone ate them every Sunday, and it wasn’t until she was older that she realized this was a special treat for her family.
They were created in England in the 17th Century as a practical way to use leftover beef drippings. The puddings, or popovers, are often served with a holiday meal, but they are simple to make and can be served any time of the year.
They make the perfect side dish to complete any meal. We love the crisp shell with the light and airy center. The texture is puffy and almost cloud-like. And it only takes five ingredients to make!
Our Yorkshire Pudding recipe is one you will want to print out and save to make time and again. It comes together quickly, making it an easy side dish during the week.

Storage Tips
SERVE:Serve them warm with beef drippings or gravy.
STORE: If stored in an airtight container, these will stay fresh for two to three days, but you will need to reheat them in the oven.
FREEZE: Once cooled, place the Yorkshire Puddings in a freezer-safe container and freeze for no longer than 2 months.
DEFROST: Defrost at room temperature for 1-2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
REHEAT: Reheat in a 325-degree oven for a few minutes until heated through.
Recipe FAQ’s
What is Yorkshire pudding called in America?
Most people in the states refer to these as popovers, just an Americanized version of the famous batter pudding made in England. However, Jill grew up in New England, and back there, they call it Yorkshire Pudding, so that name has stuck for our families.
What is the trick to Yorkshire pudding?
The trick is to have the muffin tins and the fat in the muffin tins hot before pouring the batter into each cavity. Then, the batter starts cooking immediately, instead of while it is in the oven. This results in higher and crispier popovers.
Why do my Yorkshire puddings sink when I take them out of the oven?
There could be several reasons that are causing this. The first could be due to the oven not being hot enough, the muffin tin and beef drippings were not hot enough, or they were not cooked enough. Try altering one of these suggestions to help keep your batter puddings from deflating.
Get Kids Involved
Ages 2-3: Practice counting skills with your little one during this recipe. Ask your child to count the number of muffin tin cavities as you pour the batter into the individual cavities.
Ages 4-5: This is a great recipe to learn how to whisk ingredients together. Model the technique and then guide your child’s hands to whisk together the ingredients.
Ages 6-8: Teach your child how to crack an egg properly. Then, ask your child to pre-measure the ingredients and help whisk them together.
Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe.
Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe, unsupervised, while you do the happy dance in the corner!
