Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Divide 1/4 cup vegetable oil evenly among six cups of a standard muffin pan and place in the oven to heat.

Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt together in a mixing bowl.

Add 4 whisked large eggs and half of the 1 cup whole milk, whisking until completely smooth and lump-free.

Whisk in the remaining whole milk until a thin batter forms, then rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, quickly pour batter into each sizzled oil cup, and return to the oven.
6

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes without opening the oven door until puffed and deep golden brown.

Questions

Can I make Yorkshire Pudding dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry 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 this entry 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.

How long does Yorkshire Pudding keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Yorkshire Pudding?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
