Mile high Yorkshire pudding

 Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour


4 large eggs


2 cups milk


¼ cup vegetable oil


Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Whisk milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Whisk in flour, 1 cup at a time, until frothy and well blended. Set aside.


Place 1 teaspoon oil into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin.


Place the tin in the preheated oven until oil is smoking, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly ladle about 1/4 cup batter into each cup.


Return to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puddings have risen and are golden brown. Serve immediately.
