whole milk
1 cup (homogenized)
all-purpose flour
1 cup
large eggs

salt
1/2 teaspoon
extra virgin olive oil
18 teaspoons
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it's hot enough for perfect puffing.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and flour until fully combined.
3
Add the eggs individually to the mixture, beating well after each addition, until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
4
Stir in the salt to enhance the flavor.
5
Place your 12-cup muffin pan into the preheated oven and allow it to heat for 3 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that ideal crispy texture.
6
Carefully remove the hot muffin pan from the oven and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil to each muffin cup, ensuring the oil coats the bottom.
7
Return the muffin pan to the oven and heat for an additional 2 minutes or until the oil is almost smoking — this is essential for a successful rise.
8
Once the oil is hot, remove the pan from the oven and quickly spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter into each cup, distributing it evenly.
9
Immediately return the pan to the oven and bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes without opening the door.
10
After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 10 minutes. The pudding should rise beautifully and develop a golden color.
11
Once the baking time is complete, you may briefly open the oven door to check the color and rise but avoid doing this until the end.
12
Remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh with your choice of gravy and roast. If you have any leftover roast fat, feel free to substitute it for the olive oil to enhance the flavor.
