‘Amazing and best rise I've had from a Yorkshire Pudding EVER!’

You’ll need a shallow muffin tray to make these Yorkshire puddings. Don’t use a big muffin tray or they won’t rise as well. This tray one from Amazon is perfect, or you could pick one up at most large supermarkets.

How many Calories are in these Light Yorkshire Puddings?

There are 90 Calories per portion in these Light Yorkshire Puddings, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category.

These Light Yorkshire Puddings are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 230°C, 210°C fan oven or gas mark 8.

Step 2

Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to bottom of a 12 hole non-stick muffin tray, then put it in the oven to heat the oil.

Step 3

Add the flour, salt and eggs into a decent size bowl (you need to have plenty of space for whisking!) then beat/whisk until the mix is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk and keep whisking until smooth, then pour into a jug.

Step 5

Carefully remove the tray from the oven and divide the batter equally between the 12 holes. The oil should sizzle when you add the batter.

Step 6

Put the tray back into the oven and leave it for 20-25 minutes (until the puddings have puffed up and browned) – don’t be tempted to open the oven door before the 20 minutes are up or the puddings will sink!

Step 7

Serve straight away, but if there’s any spare you can just pop them in the freezer where they’ll last a month or so.

I’ve been using frylite on the tray for years now. 2 or 3 sprays in each bit is enough to stop the Yorkshire’s sticking and leaves them much less greasy.

I’v just made these , they are delicious. But it says in the writing it’s 1 1/2 each but in the recipe it’s says 3 1/2 each? Which is it please.
