Yorkshire pudding is a traditional British bread-like recipe. When baked, it puffs up into a golden, airy, and slightly crispy creation with a soft, tender interior.

It’s easy to make with gluten free ingredients so everyone at your table can enjoy it!

Gluten free Yorkshire pudding smothered in gravy served along side a wonderful roast is the quintessential British dinner.

It’s the kind of meal that makes you feel all warm and cozy, no matter the occasion.

And while the name “pudding” conjures up images of a sweet, creamy dessert to Americans, puddings in British cuisine can refer to sausages, desserts or bread-like creations—like this savory Yorkshire pudding.

Now, I just had to include this recipe in my growing collection of gluten-free breads, as well as my appetizers, and side dishes. It’s one of those timeless, comforting recipes that every gluten-free cook needs in their repertoire.

This recipe is from my mother-in-law who knew how to make an amazing fluffy crisp Yorkshire. This is the real thing.

Even though I swap in gluten free flour, this gluten free Yorkshire pudding rocks. They rise beautifully and have the perfect texture, just like the ones you’d expect from a traditional recipe.

Sure, you can pair your Yorkshires with an eye round roast beef, but if you want to really make your taste buds sing go with the most tender tasty roast: Châteaubriand and top it off with a rich, gluten-free mushroom gravy or delicious easy velvety smooth gluten free gravy.

Yorkshire puddings love to soak up that delicious gravy!

Ingredients

Yorkshire pudding is a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk and salt that is typically cooked in hot beef fat to create a savory bread.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

You’ll most likely cook your roast at 350℉. My mother-in-law would make her roast in a large pyrex baking dish.

She’d take her finished roast out, turn her oven up to 425 ℉, put the pan with the drippings back into the oven until they were super hot, and then pour her batter right over the drippings in the same sharing-size roasting pan and bake her Yorkshire for 35-40 minutes.

If she didn’t have enough drippings, she would add oil.

Or she told me that I could divide the drippings into two round baking pans, get the drippings hot, pour in my batter, and bake for about 25 minutes.

But this year, I decided to make individual Yorkshire puddings using muffin pans. These were ready to enjoy in just 20 minutes. What fun they are! Everyone gets their own and can pour gravy right into the hollow middle.

Here’s the easy method.

Reserve 1/4 cup of the drippings from your roast and pour 2 tablespoons of drippings into each of two 8 inch round baking pans. If you’re making individual Yorkshires in muffin tins, add 1 teaspoon of drippings to each muffin hole.

Then place the pans in the oven for 15 minutes.

Drippings tips

Want to know the trick to ensure drippings from your roast? Head over to my Au Jus Gravy recipe for all the details on getting those essential drippings.

Meanwhile, beat eggs on a low speed of your electric mixer for 1/2 of a minute. Add milk; beat for another 15 seconds. Then add gluten free flour and salt and beat for 2 minutes more until smooth.

Carefully take the pans out of the oven. Make sure the drippings are super HOT before you put the room temperature batter into the pans. You should hear a sizzle when the batter hits the drippings. Working quickly, be sure to get your pan back into the oven right away. The hot fat and hot oven are the key to getting your batter to rise.

Bake in your 425 ℉ oven about 20 minutes for the muffin pans or about 25 minutes for the round baking pans.

Enjoy every satisfying bite!

Serving suggestions

Serve with your roast and top with gluten free mushroom gravy alongside crispy roasted potatoes, and your choice of vegetables (such as honey-glazed carrots, peas, or sautéed broccoli with garlic).

Or serve your Yorkshire puddings alongside a hearty soup. They make a fantastic accompaniment to creamy soups like Easy Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Tear them up and dunk them in for a comforting, satisfying meal.

For a breakfast or brunch recipe twist, serve your Yorkshire puddings with fried or poached eggs, crispy bacon cooked in your oven, and sautéed tomatoes. The Yorkshire puddings act like a base for a full English-style breakfast, but without the gluten!

Or for a fun twist try my Gluten Free Toad In The Hole, a delicious British dish where sausages are baked right into the Yorkshire pudding batter—a hearty and satisfying dinner!

- Beef drippings from you roast beef make Yorkshire pudding authentic. If you don’t have enough drippings, you can use oil.
- Yorkshire pudding can be fussy especially with gluten free flour. Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour works in this recipe. I have tried other gluten free flours and the result was too dense. Now I only reach for Bob’s all purpose flour.
- You should hear a sizzle when your batter hits the hot drippings. Working quickly, be sure to get your pan(s) back into the oven right away. The hot fat and hot oven are the key to getting the iconic rise of your puddings.
- I prepare my batter in a mixing bowl with a pourable spout which makes it easier to pour. It’s less messy. Fill each muffin hole or baking pan half of the way full.
- What you’ll love about the individual hollow Yorkshire puddings, is that you can pour your gravy right inside. It’s such fun. Everyone gets their own.
- One more thing. Don’t open the door to your oven until baking is complete. You don’t want your Yorkshires to collapse.
- Store any leftover gluten-free Yorkshire puddings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

There’s just something about a warm, golden Yorkshire pudding that makes any meal feel extra special. Whether you’re having it with a roast or just because, this recipe will always hit the spot.

Happy cooking! Enjoy every fluffy bite!
