Air Fryer Yorkshire Pudding

by

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined.
  2. Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the puddings rise better.

Step 2: Preheat Air Fryer

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare Oil: While the air fryer is preheating, add a small amount of vegetable oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) to each compartment of a muffin tin that fits in your air fryer basket. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin mold.

Step 3: Cook Yorkshire Puddings

  1. Heat the Oil: Place the muffin tin or silicone mold in the air fryer basket and heat the oil for 3-5 minutes, until it’s hot and shimmering.
  2. Fill Muffin Tin: Carefully remove the tin from the air fryer. Pour the batter evenly into each compartment, filling them about halfway.
  3. Air Fry: Return the tin to the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up and golden brown. Avoid opening the air fryer during cooking to ensure they rise properly.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Remove: Carefully remove the Yorkshire puddings from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
  2. Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favorite roast, gravy, or as a unique accompaniment to any meal.

Tips and Variations

  • Resting the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest helps the puddings rise better and become fluffier.
  • Flavor Variations: Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the batter for a flavorful twist.
  • Mini Yorkshire Puddings: For smaller, bite-sized puddings, use a mini muffin tin and adjust the cooking time to 6-8 minutes.
