Note

For best results, ensure the fat is very hot before adding the batter. This sudden heat causes the pudding to rise.

Do not open the oven door during baking, as the temperature drop can cause the puddings to collapse.

Yorkshire puddings are best served immediately while still warm and crispy. They can be reheated in a hot oven to restore crispness.

Beef fat is traditional, but you can use vegetable oil or lard if preferred.
