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).
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.

Can you make Yorkshire puddings in a ceramic dish?
Do not open the oven while the pudding is baking. If using an oven-proof, glass or ceramic casserole dish do not pour cold, refrigerated batter into the hot dish as the temperature change will crack the dish even if the dish says it is oven safe up to 450°F.
Why do Yorkshire puddings stick to the tin?
If you plan to clean your pudding tins before using them, never wash them with soap and water. This spoils the surface of the tins and can cause the batter to stick and thus prevent puddings from rising. Just wipe the tins clean with a paper towel before and after use.

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.

Why do my Yorkshire puddings sink when I take them out of 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.

Cooking your food with a ceramic dish

Should Yorkshire puddings be cooked at the top of the oven?

Why do Yorkshire puddings not cook in the middle?
The oven isn’t getting hot enough (needs to maintain a 220C/425F temperature). Your oven loses heat too quickly when you open the oven door and/or you leave the oven door open for too long whilst you’re filling up the Yorkshire pudding tins with batter. Too much batter or not enough fat in the tin.
How do I get a hole in my Yorkshire puddings?
Only use one teaspoon of oil in each hole (enough to help them get that classic deep hole, but not so much as they go greasy – a greasy Yorkshire pud is not a nice thing…). You need to cook Yorkshire puddings in a pretty hot oven – 220C (200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F) is just perfect.
