Mary Berry has shared a plethora of recipes throughout her career, including several roast dinner ones, such as this Yorkshire pudding recipe. For many, a roast dinner isn't complete without one, but they can be hard to get right.
Luckily, the chef claims her recipe is "easy" and "foolproof", so it'll be hard to get this one wrong. The recipe notes said: "Mary Berry's Yorkshire pudding recipe is easy and foolproof. She's been making them to serve with her Sunday lunches for many years."
Mary Berry's Yorkshire pudding recipeIngredients:
- 100g plain flour
- Quarter teaspoon of salt
- Three large free-range eggs
- 225ml milk
- Four tablespoons of sunflower oil
Method:
Start by preheating the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan and mixing the flour and salt together in a bowl before making a well in the centre.
Add the eggs and a little of the milk, whisking until smooth.
Mary likes to add more eggs and omit a little milk in her recipe as "decades" of experience have convinced her this gets the "best" results. If you only have full-fat milk, replace a quarter of the milk with water.
Gradually add the remaining milk. This can be done with a wooden spoon, but it is easier with an electric hand-held whisk. Pour the mixture into a jug.
The recipe notes said: "Resting the Yorkshire batter is definitely beneficial but not essential. Resting helps them rise fully during cooking because it allows the gluten to relax, and relaxed gluten is more stretchy.
"Ideally, rest the batter for at least 30 minutes and up to two hours. The batter doesn't need to be chilled."
Measure a teaspoon of oil into each hole of a 12-bun tray, or a tablespoon into each hole of a four-hole tin, or three tablespoons into a roasting tin.
Transfer to the oven for five minutes, or until the oil is piping hot.
Carefully remove from the oven and pour the batter equally between the holes of the tin. Return the batter quickly to the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or 35 if you're using a roasting tin.
When they're done, they'll be golden-brown and well-risen, and they can be served immediately.
