Yorkshire pudding is a fragrant pancake-like bread. The texture is soft, slightly chewy on the inside, almost custard-like, and the shell is crispy. It puffs up like a little soufflé, making it feel luxurious and special.
Traditional Yorkshire pudding probably originated in northern England (Yorkshire) in the early 1700s. There is some debate about this, but I feel that Yorkshire puddings are essentially the same thing as popovers. I’m based in the Midwest, so that’s how I often refer to popovers. Whatever the name, just like dinner rolls, they make a great addition to any dinner.

- big eggs
- all-purpose flour

I use nonstick cooking spray to prepare my baking pan, but you can also use butter, clarified butter, vegetable oil, shortening, beef drippings, etc.
How to make Yorkshire pudding
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate the mixture overnight or let it stand for at least an hour.
If you refrigerate the dough, bring it to room temperature or near it 30 minutes to 1 hour before using.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the baking pan in the oven while it is preheating. Let the pan be hot before pouring in the batter. You may also want to place the oven rack in the upper half of the oven.
Spray the hot pan with nonstick cooking spray or whatever you use to grease the pan. Next, pour the batter into the cup, about half to 2/3 full. Bake for 15 minutes. The Yorkshire puddings should puff up and turn golden brown. Serve hot.
Tips and notes
- Let it rest overnight – it’s worth it! This will deepen the flavor and the Yorkshire pudding will seem to rise when baked. I also love how easy it is to make before a big holiday meal. That said, you can still have success with this recipe if you just let the dough rest for a short time (at least an hour).
- You can make this dough in a blender or food processor, depending on your preference.
- Which pot should I use? This recipe was baked in a standard size muffin tin and a popover pan with a deeper well or cup. Either will work fine as long as the baking time is the same. You can also have success using larger pans like mini muffin trays or extra-large ramekins, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it by reheating it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or air frying it for a few minutes.

FAQ
What is the difference between Yorkshire pudding and popover?
Although the batter is often the same, the difference between the two is that Yorkshire pudding is often made with beef drippings or animal fat, so it has a bit more flavor than a popover. And secondly, while Yorkshire puddings are often baked in muffin tins, popovers have their own special tin with very deep wells or cups.
Can you make Yorkshire puddings in a muffin tin?
Yes, it’s actually common to bake them using an angled muffin tin.
Do Yorkshire puddings contain yeast?
No, Yorkshire Pudding is not yeast-free. It gets its power from eggs.
