Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 pound rare roast beef, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving the perfect rise in your Yorkshire puddings.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to heavy cream.
- Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes. This helps to improve the texture of the Yorkshire puddings.
- While the batter is resting, prepare your muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding tray by placing it in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.
- Once the tray is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and add a small amount of beef broth (about 1 teaspoon) to each cup of the tin. This will help create a crispy base.
- Quickly pour the rested batter into each cup of the hot tray, filling them about halfway. The batter should sizzle upon contact with the hot broth.
- Return the tray to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the Yorkshire puddings have risen and turned golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this can cause them to deflate.
- While the Yorkshire puddings are baking, prepare the rare roast beef. Slice the beef thinly and arrange it on a platter.
- Once the Yorkshire puddings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- To serve, place a Yorkshire pudding on each plate, fill it with a few slices of rare roast beef, and drizzle with additional beef broth if desired.
- Enjoy your Individual Yorkshire Puddings with Rare Roast Beef as a delightful and traditional British dish!
Tips

- Never open the oven door during baking, or your puddings will deflate
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter
- Let your batter rest for at least 10 minutes to develop better texture
- Fill muffin cups only halfway to allow maximum rising
- Use beef broth instead of oil for an extra layer of rich flavor
- Serve immediately after baking for maximum crispiness and height
