FAQs

Are Yorkshire puddings good for weight loss? ›

Traditional trimmings like Yorkshire puddings, bread sauce and stuffing add to the salt, fat and calories in your meal, so go easy on these or skip them altogether. Making your own helps reduce fat and salt.

What is best oil or fat for Yorkshire puddings? Gordon Ramsay's recipe calls for vegetable oil or beef dripping, but you can also use sunflower oil, lard or solid vegetable shortening. Avoid olive oil or butter as they burn easily and have low 'smoke' points.

The original serving of the Yorkshire pudding was as an appetiser to a main meal, usually with gravy. This was because it would fill you up, meaning you wouldn't eat as much meat, which was expensive. It was originally cooked in northern England over a fire with the meat roasting above it.

Resting the batter overnight is key for developing better flavor. Forget about cold batter: letting it rest at room temperature helps it rise taller as it bakes. A combination of milk and water gives the Yorkshire puddings extra rise and crispness.
