What type of tin should I use for my Yorkshire Puddings?
The main difference between a Yorkshire pudding tin and a muffin baking tin lies in the size and depth of the cavities:
- Yorkshire Pudding Tin: Typically features fewer, larger, and shallower holes, designed to allow the batter to spread and rise, creating wide and airy puddings. Commonly, these tins have 4-6 cavities. The diameter of each hole is usually larger, around 10 cm (4 inches), with a depth of about 2.5 cm (1 inch).
- Muffin Baking Tin: Has smaller, deeper cavities and is used for denser bakes like cupcakes or muffins. A standard muffin tin has 6-12 holes, with each cavity measuring around 6-7 cm (2.5-3 inches) in diameter and 3.5-4 cm (1.5-1.75 inches) deep.
Using the correct tin is essential for achieving the desired shape and texture. Yorkshire pudding tins are ideal for light and crispy puddings, while muffin tins work for smaller, thicker versions.
How much batter should I add to each hole in my Yorkshire Pudding baking tins?
The amount of batter to add per hole in a Yorkshire pudding tin depends on the size of the tin:
- Standard Muffin Tin (6-12 holes): Fill each hole about 1/3 to 1/2 full. This allows enough space for the batter to rise and create the signature puffed shape.
- Larger Yorkshire Pudding Tin (4 holes): Use slightly more batter, filling each hole about halfway, ensuring a good rise without overflowing.

Carefully take the hot tins out of the oven, ensuring the oil is sizzling, and pour the batter evenly into each hole.
Step 7
Place the tins back in the oven and leave them undisturbed for 20 minutes (5 minutes extra for the larger ones). Avoid opening the oven door during this time, as it can cause the puddings to collapse. Bake until they are puffed up and golden brown.
