James Martin's Yorkshire puddings recipe

James Martin's Yorkshire puddings are the perfect accompaniment for your roast dinner...

Complete your roast dinner with James Martin's Yorkshire puddings. This recipe has been passed down from his Granny and is one of his favourite things to make. James uses beef dripping instead of vegetable oil for much more flavour-packed Yorkshires. It should only take 30 mins to make these Yorkshire puddings too which mean they can be the last things you make when it comes to rustling up your roast dinner. Whip up 12 of these classic puds in no time. If you'd rather make a large Yorkshire pudding use a round cake tin instead of a bun tin and follow the same method below.
