Easy Yorkshire Puddings for Two

There is absolutely nothing like a roast dinner with a Yorkshire pudding, all the trimmings and lots of gravy on a Sunday afternoon. The humble Yorkshire pudding can be difficult to master despite it seeming simple to make. This is a foolproof recipe for easy Yorkshire puddings for two (two Yorkshire puddings each of course)!

A roast can be a lot of work and that is why I’ve made this recipe for Yorkshire puddings as simple as possible. All of the measurements are done in tablespoons so there’s no need to get the weighing scales out and there’s less tidying and washing up to be done! Plus they are perfectly portioned for two people – just double the recipe for 4 people and so on.

The recipe includes instructions for small Yorkshire puddings which you can make in a cupcake tin (which is what I do). It also has timings for a bigger ones which you can make in a proper Yorkshire pudding tin, but not everybody has one of those.

My Dad is really good at making Yorkies so these remind me of Sunday lunch at home as a child. Another thing that reminds me of Sundays as a child is microwave sponge pudding, a simple sponge with a sweet syrup that is make in the microwave and always served with custard! I also have a similar recipe for a vegan microwave sponge pudding in a mug.

Fun fact – my Dad’s side of the family is from the North East of England and they would have Yorkshires as a starter before the main of whatever meat they were having. Then they would have the remaining Yorkshire pudding with jam for their dessert. I am all for finding different ways and more occasions to eat them so I love this story!
