Delia Smith Yorkshire Pudding Ingredients

  • 175g plain flour (1 ½ cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 175ml semi-skimmed milk (¾ cup)
  • 110ml water (½ cup)
  • 80g beef dripping or 4 tablespoons flavorless oil

How To Make Delia Smith Yorkshire Pudding

  1. Make the Batter: Sift the flour into a bowl. Add a bit of salt and pepper. Make a hole in the middle. Crack the eggs into the hole and start whisking. Slowly add the milk and water while whisking until smooth.
  2. Preheat the Oven: If cooking with a roast, turn the oven up to 220°C (425°F, gas mark 7) about 15 minutes before the roast is done. Put the dripping or oil in a pan and heat it in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat the Pan: After the roast is out, put the pan on high heat and pour in the batter.
  4. Bake: Place the pan back in the oven on the top shelf (or second top if the top is taken). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pudding is puffy and golden.
  5. Serve: Serve right away. If it loses its crunch, put it under a hot grill or back in the oven to crisp it up again.

Recipe Tips

  • Use Cold Batter: For the best rise, make sure your batter is cold before you pour it into the hot fat.
  • Preheat the Fat: Ensure the dripping or oil is sizzling hot before adding the batter to get a crispy pudding.
  • Don’t Open the Oven: Avoid opening the oven door while the Yorkshire Pudding is baking to prevent it from collapsing.
  • Beat the Batter Well: Whisk the batter thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps it rise better.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the pudding as soon as it’s done to enjoy its crispiness. Reheat quickly under a hot grill if it softens.
