Enjoy perfect yorkies every time with this fail-safe recipe for Ultimate Yorkshire Puddings from OcadoLife recipe editor Lauren Hoffman. “The batter is golden and crisp on the outside with a slightly softer, richer middle. I find that using beef dripping gives a more rounded, seasoned flavour but the recipe works well with oil too – just ensure whatever fat you use is sizzling before you add the batter.” This recipe makes enough batter for 8 large Yorkshires or 12 small ones.Time and servings
