Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup reserved pan fat from Sunday Roast Beef*

Method

  • *Cook's note: olive oil can replace cooking fat if none is available
  • Sift the salt and the flour into a large bowl.
  • Add half the milk and all the eggs into the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk in remaining milk, and then the thyme.
  • Cover; let batter sit at room temperature, for at least 30 minutes, ideally 45 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Divide the rendered beef fat or oil, 1/4 cup total, between a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin or 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray.
  • Heat in oven until the fat is almost smoking hot.
  • Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any fat drippings - this will help prevent any oven fires!
  • Uncover batter and whisk one more time.
  • Pour batter into each cup, about 3/4 full and immediately place back into the oven.
  • The batter will sizzle when being poured into the hot fat.
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until risen and golden brown in color.
  • Turn oven off and leave puddings in the oven for just 5 more minutes to help set.
  • Remove puddings and serve while hot and puffed.
