Your dishes
You’re amazing, look at the Lighter Yorkshire Puddings dishes you’ve made…
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!
When we started our slimming journeys, we never imagined we’d be able to enjoy another Yorkshire Pudding again, because of the high flour and fat content of traditional Yorkshire Puddings.
These monster Yorkshire Puddings are pretty foolproof: light and fluffy on the inside with a little bit of bite on the outside. No need to buy frozen ones anymore when you can get the perfect Yorkie in less than half an hour.
The best bit is, this batter works so well for so many recipes so once you’ve mastered it, you’ll want to use it again and again for mini versions or even Yorkshire pudding wraps!
What diets is this Lighter Yorkshire Puddings recipe suitable for?
This recipe is suitable if you’re gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;
- Plain flour
You could also enjoy this Yorkshire Puddings recipe if you’re dairy free by replacing the milk with a dairy free alternative.
Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Lighter Yorkshire Puddings?
All these Yorkshire Puddings need is a little bit of elbow grease with a whisk, and a shallow muffin tray to cook them in!
Don’t use a big muffin tray, use one a bit shallower otherwise it might cause these to not rise as well, which would be very bad indeed. This one from Amazon is perfect! You could also pick one up at most large supermarkets too.

For the comments asking about using G/F flour….. they work! Woohoo!!
KateSunday 27th January 2019
Hi there!
Hoping to make these tonight, they look great! Quick question-should I preheat the muffin pan as well as the oven? I’ve read the instructions a hundred times and unless I’m missing it I can’t see it-so presuming you just pour the mix into a cold pan?
Thanks x
GabbySunday 15th July 2018
Can you reheat this as I’m going to find it difficult to make these and my beef and potatoes all at the same time ????
JoSunday 24th June 2018
Thank you so much for this recipe, made these today , having never made yorkshire puddings from scratch before these were surprisingly easy and tasted great ! 🙂
JayneSunday 17th June 2018
Just made these for our Sunday roast and whilst we all ate them (me, hubby and 2 kids, age 6), we also all thought that they tasted like Yorkshire puddings at first but they tasted a bit eggy on the inside…did I do something wrong?
Would it work just with 1 egg?
I have a picture but not sure how to attach it to my comment.
ColinSunday 11th March 2018
Made them with water instead of milk, still perfect!
Mrs CSunday 11th March 2018
I am going to make these tomorrow. Is your oven temperature for a fan oven?
LaurenSunday 11th February 2018
Can semi-skimmed milk be used instead of skimmed?
CarrieSunday 29th October 2017
Can this be done with gluten free flour and almond milk?
CarinaSunday 17th September 2017
The batter looks a bit egg heavy and yellow and looks like it may need more flour. Is this ok?
KateTuesday 14th February 2017
Hi Sarah
We quite like them with jam too!
