Method

​1 Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas mark 7. Put a small amount of oil into each of your muffin tins and place the tray in the top half of the oven to heat up.

2 Place the plain flour, cornflour and salt into a mixing bowl. Crack the 3 eggs into a measuring jug and then add enough milk to make it up to 1/2 pint (285mL). Whisk together the eggs and milk with a fork.

3 Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the flour ensuring it is well mixed until you have a smooth batter.

4 Remove the tray from the oven – the oil should now be hot. Pour the batter into the tins about 2/3 full as the puddings will rise.

5 Cook in the top half of the oven for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Then enjoy with your roast dinner. Yorkshires can alternatively be used for a sweet treat drizzled with golden syrup and served with a scoop of ice-cream.
