Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
   • Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
   • Stir in the salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder if using.
   • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps achieve a better rise.

2. Preheat and Grease the Muffin Tin

   • Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
   • Pour about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into each muffin cup.
   • Place the muffin tin in the oven for about 5 minutes until the oil is very hot.

3. Bake the Yorkshire Pudding Muffins

   • Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven.
   • Quickly pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
   • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each one.
   • Place the muffin tin back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puddings are puffed up and golden brown.
