🥣 Yorkshire Pudding in the Air Fryer
Yes — you can make classic Yorkshire puddings in an air fryer! They puff beautifully if the oil is hot enough.
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 small puddings)
-
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup (240ml) milk
-
½ tsp salt
-
2–3 tbsp beef drippings or neutral oil
🔪 Make the Batter
-
Whisk eggs and milk together.
-
Add flour and salt.
-
Whisk until smooth (like heavy cream).
-
Let rest 20–30 minutes (important for rise).
🔥 Air Fryer Method
1️⃣ Preheat
-
Place silicone muffin cups or small metal ramekins in the basket.
-
Add about 1 tsp oil to each.
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes until oil is very hot.
2️⃣ Fill Quickly
-
Carefully remove basket.
-
Pour batter into each cup, filling halfway.
-
Work quickly so the oil stays hot.
3️⃣ Cook
-
Air fry at 375–400°F (190–200°C) for 10–15 minutes.
-
Do NOT open during the first 8–10 minutes (they may collapse).
They’re done when tall, puffed, and deep golden brown.
💡 Pro Tips
-
Hot oil = dramatic rise.
-
Resting batter improves texture.
-
If your air fryer runs small, cook in batches.
-
Best served immediately (they deflate as they cool — that’s normal!).
🍽 Serve With
-
Roast beef & gravy
-
Sausages (Toad in the Hole style)
-
Drizzled with honey for a sweet twist
