What is traditionally served with Yorkshire pudding? ›

This recipe is simple enough for any weekend meal.

I think everyone has or will make at least one flat Yorkshire pudding at some point. The most common reason is that it isn't hot enough. Sometimes because the oven door is open too long or the pan or fat isn't hot enough before the batter is added.

Cold batter and hot oil are the successful combination for a well risen and crisp pudding. Make sure your Rapeseed Oil is smoking hot before pouring your batter into the tin. It's the best oil for the job.

A couple of tips and tricks. I add water to my recipe, as this generates steam in the puddings which helps them rise. It also helps achieve a crispier, glass-like texture. I rest my batter for an hour at room temperature to help the gluten develop.

Should you chill Yorkshire pudding batter? ›

And room temperature batter is ideal

Room temperature vs cold batter: if your batter is at room temperature when it hits the hot pan, you will get a better rise with a crispier hollow pudding. If your batter is cold, your Yorkshires will be slightly more dense inside but with that perfect gravy-pooling cup shape.

One of the main reasons why Yorkshires don't rise is because the oil isn't hot enough, so make sure it's bubbling and sizzling as you pour your batter in. Make sure you aren't over-filling the tin – fill each hole about a third or halfway up, any more and they may collapse through the weight of batter.

Resting the batter overnight is key for developing better flavor. Forget about cold batter: letting it rest at room temperature helps it rise taller as it bakes. A combination of milk and water gives the Yorkshire puddings extra rise and crispness.
