Gluten Free Yorkshire Puddings

Nothing beats a golden, puffy Gluten Free Yorkshire Pudding and a proper roast dinner isn’t complete without one, preferably drowning in lashings of thick, gluten free gravy.

I used to feel like I was missing out on all the ‘fun’ parts of a roast dinner but now I’ve mastered this easy Yorkshire puddings recipe, life feels complete again.

Super light and puffy, with a crunchy, golden batter, these are the best Yorkshire puddings! Super light, fluffy and absolutely delicious.

Plus you only need a few key ingredients to make this holy grail of gluten free food.

The BEST gluten free Yorkshire puddings

So how do you make Yorkshire puddings which are light, fluffy and gluten free?

This gluten free Yorkshire pudding recipe is really very simple and you only need four ingredients to make these.

In fact, this Yorkshire pudding batter is similar to gluten free pancakes – except you cook them in super hot oil so they puff up proudly.

I have tested many variations over the last few months, but I like to use a combination of gluten free flour and cornflour.

Cornflour is naturally gluten free, and it adds a lovely lightness to these gluten free Yorkshire puds that you can’t get with just plain gluten free flour.

But I really like the combination of both flours, rather than just making cornflour Yorkshire puddings.

You can make this recipe wholly with one or the other if you’re short on ingredients, but I’d recommend using both.

Gluten free Yorkshire pudding ingredients

The best thing about this recipe for gluten free Yorkshire puddings is that you only need four ingredients to make them.

There’s a full printable recipe card down below, but for the shopping list you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 75g plain gluten free flour
• 75g cornflour (cornstarch in the US)
• 120ml milk (use a dairy free alternative such as almond milk if you need this recipe to be dairy free)
• 3 eggs

You can also add a pinch of salt if you like, plus you’ll need a little oil – like vegetable oil or rapeseed oil – to pour into the muffin tin before cooking the Yorkshire puddings.

For the gluten free flour just use a standard blend from the supermarket, such as FREEE, Asda or M&S.

I used full fat milk for this recipe, or you could use a dairy free alternative such as almond milk, soya milk or gluten free oat milk if you wanted a dairy free Yorkshire pudding.

I don’t have a gluten free vegan Yorkshire pudding recipe yet, though imagine this could work with an egg replacer – let me know in the comments if you try it.

This recipe makes enough for 12 gluten free Yorkshire puddings, but don’t worry if you need less than this.

These gluten free Yorkshire puddings freeze really well, which means the next time you want a roast dinner, you’re ready to rock and roll!

How to make gluten free Yorkshire puddings

Once you’ve got all your ingredients, making these easy Yorkshire puddings really could not be simpler.

Firstly, you want to add around 1 teaspoon of oil to each hole of your muffin tin, and then pop it in the oven to heat up.

While that’s heating up, mix together the flours, eggs and milk using a whisk until you have a smooth batter.

When the tray is hot, take it out of the oven and quickly half-fill each hole of the muffin tin with batter.

Pop it back into the oven and 18-20 minutes later you’ll have crunchy, puffy, delicious Yorkshire puddings!

I’ve even made a handy recipe video tutorial to talk you through the steps here:

If you want to freeze any excess Yorkshire puddings, just wait for them to cool completely, place them in a freezer bag and freeze.

Then simply warm them through when you want to eat them. 

Top tips for making Yorkshire puddings

There are two super important elements to making Yorkshire puddings, the first one being: the oil must be super hot before you add the batter.

I usually add the oil to the muffin tin and place it in the oven for around 10 minutes.

You know when it starts to almost go a bit smoky when you open the oven door? That’s about right.

As soon as you add the batter to the oil you want it to sizzle.

And the second tip? Be super quick!

Once you have got the muffin tray out of the oven, you want to (carefully) pour in the oil and whack it back in the oven, pronto.

The longer you take, the more likely the oil will be to cool down – you want to keep everything super hot so your Yorkshire puddings magically puff up.
