Ingredients
Instructions
- Bake the roast in a glass pan with 1/2 inch of fat drippings such as Crisco or suet.
- When the roast is done, remove it and set aside to keep warm.
- Mix flour, salt, evaporated milk, and water to form the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan drippings left from the roast.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes until the pudding is risen and light brown.
- Serve the Yorkshire pudding alongside the roast.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, make sure your batter is well-mixed and let it rest for 15-30 minutes before pouring it into the hot drippings. If you don't have evaporated milk, whole milk or a mix of milk and cream can be used instead. For a herb-infused flavor, consider adding finely chopped rosemary or thyme to the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Yorkshire pudding hot alongside the roast, drizzled with gravy for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a side of Colcannon (Irish Potatoes And Cabbage) for a comforting meal. A light salad can also balance the richness of the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Yorkshire pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through to retain their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead. Just cover it and refrigerate. Allow it to come to room temperature before using it to ensure a better rise during baking.
What type of roast works best with Yorkshire pudding?
Beef roast is traditionally used, especially rib roast or sirloin, as the drippings add flavor. However, you can also use pork or lamb if you prefer, adjusting the seasoning accordingly.
Why did my Yorkshire pudding not rise?
For a successful rise, ensure your oven is fully preheated, and the batter is poured into very hot drippings. Also, avoid opening the oven door while baking, as this can cause them to collapse.
