Oven Temperature 450°F (230°C) is ideal. No convection. Some folks recommend turning the oven down towards the end of cooking to allow you to leave the puddings in the oven longer, thereby setting their exteriors more firmly so that they don’t deflate as much once you pull them out.
Are Yorkshire puddings better in fan oven?
If possible, avoid using a convection oven, as the forced air in a fan oven can sometimes be too strong and cause the puddings to collapse. If you have a setting that allows you to switch from convection to a regular oven, be sure to make the switch.
What temperature do you cook Yorkshire?
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7. Put 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil into each compartment of two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins (see tip, below). If you only have one tin, you’ll have to do this and cook the Yorkshires in two batches.
What is the secret to making Yorkshire puddings rise?
The fat must be smoking hot in the pan before you cook the batter.

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?

Is fan bake quicker than bake?
Fan forced ovens are quicker to cook due to the hot air circulating and often brown faster, hence why there are food types or cooking styles better suited to conventional that need the slow and steady temperature to cook the whole way through.
Should I use bake or fan bake?
When using ovens with both fan-forced and conventional settings, it is best to use conventional when you are baking long and slow (like for cakes) and fan-forced for fast cooking at high temperatures. If using a fan-forced oven, as a general rule, drop the temperature by 20°C to imitate conventional.
Can you cook Yorkshire puddings at a lower temperature?
Oven Temperature
450°F (230°C) is ideal. No convection. Some folks recommend turning the oven down towards the end of cooking to allow you to leave the puddings in the oven longer, thereby setting their exteriors more firmly so that they don’t deflate as much once you pull them out.

Why do my 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.

Keeping the fan on helps the yeast rise, but be careful because after that time, your cake could burst into flames. So, use the oven fan in moderation. Moreover, the oven fan can also dry the dough of your cake and dry it out due to constant air flow. If you notice that, simply turn the fan off.
Do you reduce cooking time for fan oven?

Is it better to bake with or without convection?
The convection bake circulates air, which results in a steady, dry temperature. This means that foods will cook faster and the surface of foods will be dry. While these settings make for a delicious roasted chicken, your cake may not fare so well. For cakes, we recommend using your regular bake mode.
What’s the difference between fan and normal oven?
Also known as convection ovens, fan-assisted ovens are – as the name suggests – equipped with a fan inside which forces hot air to circulate around the oven. Conversely, a conventional oven simply heats up the inside to the desired temperature, cooking the food by blanketing it in a layer of heat.
What is the difference between high bake and low bake?
