Jamie Oliver’s Amazing Yorkies

Jamie Oliver’s Amazing Yorkies are his take on classic British Yorkshire puddings. These light, airy pastries are traditionally served with roast beef and gravy. Jamie’s version is all about height, crispness, and flavor. They puff up gloriously in the oven and have a deep golden color with a hollow middle that’s perfect for soaking up sauces. Made with just flour, eggs, milk, and oil, they rely on a hot oven and hot fat to rise to their full potential.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 200 ml whole milk
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Sunflower oil or beef dripping for greasing the tin

Equipment

  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack in the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  3. Add in the flour gradually while whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk until the batter is silky and smooth. Add a pinch of salt.
  5. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps develop a better texture.
  6. In the meantime, place a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin in the oven to heat. Add about a teaspoon of sunflower oil or beef dripping into each compartment.
  7. Once the oil is smoking hot, carefully remove the tin from the oven and pour the batter into each section about halfway up.
  8. Quickly return the tin to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes without opening the door.
  9. The Yorkies should puff up and turn golden brown. Remove when crisp on top and firm at the base.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

My tips to make the best Jamie Oliver Amazing Yorkies
  • Always let your batter rest. Thirty minutes is ideal.
  • The oil must be smoking hot before pouring in the batter.
  • Never open the oven door while they’re baking.
  • Use a metal tin instead of silicone for the best rise.
  • Room temperature ingredients help the batter rise more consistently.
