Notes

  • Temperature is crucial - Yorkshire pudding needs very hot oil and oven
  • Don't open the oven during cooking - this will cause the pudding to collapse
  • Rest the batter overnight in the refrigerator for best texture and flavor development
  • Serve immediately - Yorkshire pudding is best when fresh and hot
  • Customize toppings - experiment with different cheeses and vegetables
