Follow my Air Fryer Yorkshire Pudding recipe to make PERFECT Yorkshire puddings from scratch in your Air Fryer! Pair with my Air Fryer Roast Beef to enjoy a classic Sunday Roast.
Ingredients
For the batter
▢ 130 g (1 cup) flour , plain / all-purpose flour
▢ ½ tsp salt
▢ 3 large eggs
▢ 240 ml (1 cup) milk , semi-skimmed
To cook
▢ 3 tbsp vegetable cooking fat (such as Trex) or sunflower oil, as needed
Instructions
Make the pudding batter
Measure the flour into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Crack the eggs into the bowl, add a splash of the milk and use a balloon whisk to whisk together.
Gradually add the remaining milk and mix until you have a smooth batter. Rest the batter for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Note: If you have an immersion blender you can add all the ingredients into a tall measuring jug and blitz until the batter is smooth.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Place a silicone muffin tin (or the ramekins / cake tins) in the air fryer basket. Add half a teaspoon of vegetable baking fat (or sunflower oil) to each. Preheat the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes.
Stir the batter well before making the puddings. Working quickly, pour in the batter into the tin, just under halfway up. Air fry for 10 minutes – the puddings will look golden and puffed up on top but still a bit doughy underneath.
Use tongs to flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes for small puddings and up to 10 minutes for larger ones. The puddings should be golden, puffed, with crisp edges and light as air. If they still feel heavy you can continue cooking them for a little longer.
Serve immediately with roast beef (or any roast dinner) and plenty of gravy!
Notes
You will need
I used a Air Fryer
Silicone muffin tin – this works well even if it is not the best heat conductor.
Ramekins (6 fl oz) – a good option if you already have some.
Pudding tins – perfect for cooking Air Fryer Yorkshire puddings (and making sticky toffee puddings).
Mini cake tins (4 inch cake tins) – these are excellent for making larger yorkies with the perfect crater for adding gravy in!
Note: If you have an immersion blender you can add all the ingredients into a tall measuring jug and blitz until the batter is smooth.
