What oven temperature does Yorkshire Pudding need?

For Yorkshire Pudding, the oven is set to 425 F (about 220 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 22 minutes, in step 6.

Why rest the batter for Yorkshire Pudding?

Step 4 reads: "Whisk in the remaining whole milk until a thin batter forms, then rest at room temperature for 15 minutes." The pause in step 4 lets the flour hydrate fully and the bubbles settle, which gives a more tender, even result.

Can I make Yorkshire Pudding dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Yorkshire Pudding is 1 cup whole milk. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Yorkshire Pudding gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Yorkshire Pudding is 1 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.
