The trick to making Yorkshire pudding is to get the oil super-hot in the cooking dish first, so the batter starts to puff as soon as it goes in. If you prefer, you can cook this mixture whole in a preheated shallow roasting dish, rather than as individuals.

Yorkshire pudding is a traditional accompaniment to roast beef and Annabel serves these as part of her midwinter standing rib roast menu. See the feature here.
