True yorkshire puddings are made froma thin batter poured into hot meat drippings after roasting meat. It is returned to the oven to bake, and doesn't rise much, if at all.
So if you are making yours in this manner, no holes sounds par for the course as there is no leavening, adn round is the shape batter takes if it's hemmed in by meat juices.
If you make something else you are calling yorkshire pudding, then I have no idea.

My yorkshire puddings I make with plain flour eggs milk, I make sure I use the juice/oil from the meat and that it's piping hot I add the mix till it starts to fry and fizzle in the hot oil I then put them in an electric oven 200c and never open the door look through the glass otherwise they come out flat and round instead of light and with a nice holey bit in the middle better than the shop ones. Enjoy

When you make the batter it shouldn't be thick but not too runny either. When mixing it try to get loads of air bubbles into the mixture then leave it whilst the oven is preheating. Just before you want to put the mixture in the tin give it a quick mix again. Make sure that the oil is very hot when you put the batter in the tin and cook in a hot oven.

They are supposed to be like that. When they have that dip in the middle it means that they have fallen. I know fallen ones keep the gravy in better but really they should be round and puffy.

They are not meant to have holes in them!! They are not bagels. Make sure you serve them first as a starter with onion gravy which is the traditional way.

Mine are like that. Rather like bosoms! And everybody loves them. I learnt the technique from my mother and am hoping to pass it on to my daughter. I don't know why they turn out like they do to be honest but who cares anyway.xx

they dont have to ahve a hole, infact they are usually more authentic without and have a fluffy texture instead of manafactured
