in a medium bowl whisk the eggs together then and add the flour and a pinch of salt; combine the ingredients into a lumpy batter.
add 1 cup milk to the batter and use a whisk or electric mixer to combine until all of the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth.
pour the batter into a small pitcher or measuring cup and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours up to overnight.
about 10 minutes before you are ready to bake your puddings preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Measure out one teaspoon of oil for each pudding cup and place it in each hole of the muffin pan - this recipe makes approximately 12 to 15 puddings - so you will need approximately 12 to 15 teaspoons of oil.
place the pan with the oil in the oven for about 10 minutes until the oil becomes very hot.
carefully remove the pan with the oil from the oven.
pour a small amount of batter on top of the hot oil in each cup until each is a little less than half full.
bake the puddings in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they become golden and crispy and rise.
Notes
The longer the batter sits, the better your chances will be for a puffy Yorkshire pudding. You can place the batter in the for 3 hours up to overnight. The best way to store leftover Yorkshire pudding is to wrap or cover them with parchment paper and store them at room temperature for up to 2 days.Variations:Try adding a few tablespoons of your favorite chopped herbs to the batter such as basil, oregano, and tarragon.Add 1/2 cup of your favorite freshly shredded cheese for cheesy puddings.
