Pan Size. A good Yorkshire pudding batter will work in any size pan. I did most of my testing in large 6-well popover tins, but the batter works equally well in muffin tins, mini muffin tins, and in a preheated cast iron skillet or casserole dish (these large-format methods being the most traditional).
How do you make Yorkshire puddings without a bun tray?
For baking tins, you can use traditional muffin/cupcake sized tins, or mini muffin pans, which produces a higher surface area – to – pudding ratio, which I prefer for its crispiness. You can also make a traditional Yorkshire Pudding in one large cake tin.
Can you make Yorkshire puddings without a cupcake tin?
Pour the drippings into a 9-inch pie pan, cast iron skillet, or square baking dish. Put the pan in oven and get the drippings smoking hot. Carefully take the pan out of the oven and pour in the batter. Put the pan back in oven and cook until puffed and dry, 15 to 20 minutes.
Do Yorkshire puddings need to be on top shelf?
“If you have a conventional oven, your Yorkshires should cook on the top shelf of the oven where the temperature is highest — just make sure you leave enough space for your puddings to rise!” Use sunflower or vegetable oil when lining the baking tray compartments.
Can I make Yorkshire puddings in a silicone tray?
Yorkshire Puddings
Whisk in the eggs, egg white and milk until you achieve a smooth batter. 2. Heat the oven to 220’C, fan 210’C. Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin – if you have a silicone one then fine, if not try popping silicone muffin cups into each hole.
What can I use instead of a tray?
Did you know you could make a baking pan completely from aluminum foil? You can! The trick here is to first create an outline of the shape of the baking pan you need by folding foil to create the walls of the pan. You’ll then need more foil to cover that outline with more foil to create the bottom of the pan.
What can I use instead of a bun tray?
You can also easily bake muffin batter in a loaf tin, cake tin, sheet pan, or skillet. If you want individual muffins, use regular muffin liners, doubled-up, or freestanding muffin liners. Get creative, use ramekins, ceramic cups or mugs, or even clean cans instead of muffin pans.
What can I use if I don’t have cupcake cases?
Use parchment paper instead of cups, Chapple says, for an upgraded case for your muffins or cupcakes, and you’ll never worry about cupcake liners again. First, cut a sheet of parchment into five-to-six-inch squares.
How do I stop my Yorkshires from sticking?
Even with non-stick bakeware for Yorkshire puddings it’s worth adding a little oil or dripping to each one, swirling it around the sides.
What is the secret to making Yorkshire puddings rise?
The fat must be smoking hot in the pan before you cook the batter. If your Yorkshire pudding tin isn’t hot enough before the batter is added, all attempts are destined to flop – so add fat or oil to the tin, and heat in the top of the oven at 230? C for 10 minutes first (and keep it at that temperature when cooking).
Why do my Yorkshire puddings go flat when I take them out the oven?
Have your Yorkshire puddings deflated? It could be that your oven wasn’t hot enough, the oil wasn’t hot enough when you added the batter (did it sizzle?), or you didn’t cook them for long enough. Don’t aim for pale golden, go darker!
Can you make Yorkshire puddings the day before and reheat?
Yes you can make Yorkshire puddings ahead, then reheat them in a hot oven for a few minutes.
Should I rest my Yorkshire pudding batter in the fridge?
Let your batter rest
While it doesn’t need to be cold, your batter should have time to rest. Our no-fail yorkies recipe recommends transferring your batter to a jug after mixing, then leaving it to rest for at least 15 minutes.
Does cake batter stick to silicone?
Silicone is naturally a bit nonstick on its own. Usually, my cakes have enough fat and sugar and will not stick to the surface without any extra greasing. That being said, just grease the pan anyways. It’s a bit of insurance to get that cake out later and doesn’t really have any adverse effect on the final cake.
Is it better to bake in silicone or metal?
Silicone utensils are almost always better than metal ones because they are heat-resistant, nonstick, and don’t scratch up the baking pans at all.
Can you use a ceramic dish for Yorkshire puddings?
The Yorkshire pudding batter can be used immediately or kept for several hours in the fridge until ready to cook. To get your Yorkshire puddings even bigger I’d recommend using a ceramic muffin dish to cook them in.

Can you use a picture frame as a tray?
It’s just one more little place I get to decorate and make my own. I have a tray in almost every room in my house. The best thing about turning a picture frame into a tray is how unique it can be, and you can make it fit into any decor with just a few changes.
How do you make muffin trays?
Simply mold baking paper (parchment paper or wax paper are ideal, but aluminum foil will work in a pinch) into a cupcake-like shape using the bottom of a glass or teacup. The stiffer the paper the better. It might take a few tries to get your homemade liners into the shape you want.
Can you make cupcake liners with aluminum foil?
Yes, it’s possible! You can make foil cupcake liners following the same method above. However, since aluminum foil doesn’t have the same nonstick property as parchment paper, you should combine the two methods above and grease your foil liners before pouring batter into them.
