‘Amazing and best rise I've had from a Yorkshire Pudding EVER!’

These Light Yorkshire Puddings are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 230°C, 210°C fan oven or gas mark 8.
Step 2
Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to bottom of a 12 hole non-stick muffin tray, then put it in the oven to heat the oil.
Step 3
Add the flour, salt and eggs into a decent size bowl (you need to have plenty of space for whisking!) then beat/whisk until the mix is smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk and keep whisking until smooth, then pour into a jug.
Step 5
Carefully remove the tray from the oven and divide the batter equally between the 12 holes. The oil should sizzle when you add the batter.
Step 6
Put the tray back into the oven and leave it for 20-25 minutes (until the puddings have puffed up and browned) – don’t be tempted to open the oven door before the 20 minutes are up or the puddings will sink!
Step 7
Serve straight away, but if there’s any spare you can just pop them in the freezer where they’ll last a month or so.

Why can’t I find an app for pinch of nom??

Hi Suzanne, we don’t currently have a Pinch of Nom app but our site works just as well on a mobile phone, tablet or computer. Hope that helps!

Yes, thank you so much!

I’ve been using frylite on the tray for years now. 2 or 3 sprays in each bit is enough to stop the Yorkshire’s sticking and leaves them much less greasy.
JanetSunday 11th September 2016
I’v just made these , they are delicious. But it says in the writing it’s 1 1/2 each but in the recipe it’s says 3 1/2 each? Which is it please.
