🧾 Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil (or beef drippings)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and salt until smooth. Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk until fully combined and lump-free. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and ensure better rise.

2. Preheat the oven and muffin tin:
   Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil (or beef drippings) into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and let the oil get smoking hot—about 10 minutes.

3. Pour the batter:
   Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Working quickly and carefully, pour the batter evenly into each cup, filling each only halfway. The batter should sizzle as it hits the hot oil—this is key to achieving the dramatic rise.

4. Bake without opening the oven door:
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the puddings are well-risen, deep golden brown, and crispy. Do not open the oven door during baking, or they may collapse.

5. Serve immediately:
   Remove from oven and serve hot. Yorkshire puddings are best enjoyed fresh and crisp, but leftovers can be reheated.

These Golden Puffy Yorkshire Puddings are the perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. With just a few pantry staples and some oven magic, you’ll create a stunning side dish that rises to every occasion.
