Why does my Yorkshire Pudding suck! Where am I going wrong?

Question

Any good tips or recipes?

Thanks Frank...what temp is considered a hot oven?

Answer 1

I'm from Yorkshire - I can help!

Make sure you put the batter in the fridge for about one hour before you cook them. And, as the other person here suggested, you need to have the oil heated up until its smoking . . .the oil should be about a quarter to a third of the way up the hole you put the batter in.

Answer 2

"Yorkshire Pudding with Roast Beef" - 6 to 9 servings

Thirty minutes before standing rib or rolled rib roast is done, prepare Yorkshire Pudding (below). Heat square pan, 9x9x2", in oven. Remove roast from oven; spoon off drippings and add melted shortening, if needed, to measure 1/2 cup.
Increase oven temperature to 425*. Return roast to oven. Place hot drippings in heated square pan; pour in Yorkshire Pudding batter. Bake 10 minutes. Remove roast; continue baking pudding 25-30 minutes longer. Cut pudding into squares; serve with roast.
YORKSHIRE PUDDING:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients with hand beater just until smooth.

Answer 3

You must mix the batter good and you must put in a hot oven where the oil is smoking before you put the batter in the tin.
