Searing the Beef

Resting the batter at least 30 minutes ensures maximum rise.
Best served hot from the oven alongside roast beef or chicken.
Reheat leftovers in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
Use beef drippings for deeper flavor and tradition.

Put 1 tsp of the oil (or beef drippings) into each section of a 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tray and put into the oven on the top shelf until very hot, almost smoking.

As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters fill the tins (it should sizzle) and immediately put back into the oven.

Bake until the Yorkshire puddings are well risen, golden brown, and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Don’t open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.

Instructions

4 large eggs

1½ cups whole milk (375 ml)

1½ tsp coarse salt

1¼ cups all purpose flour (155 g)

4 Tbsp vegetable oil (or beef drippings)

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
