Making gluten free Yorkshire pudding turned out to be easier than I thought. My mom cooked many roast beef dinners but she never made Yorkshire pudding.
She never made it so I never made it. Funny how that works.

I know you can learn to make anything you want so when my husband said he was cooking a Prime Rib roast I said, "I’m making gluten free Yorkshire pudding." I had actually tried them gluten free previously but they weren’t memorable.
This time I did the research to learn the tricks that make perfect yorkies and applied them to my gluten free recipe. I knew more about the flour choices how to adjust since gluten free flour doesn't absorb liquid the way wheat flour does.
It took a few tries but this recipe is a reminder that gluten free cooking has come a long way and you should expect excellent results. Just keep trying until you get them.
Ingredients
- EGFG gluten free flour blend*
- potato starch
- baking powder
- xanthan gum
- eggs
- half-and-half (12-18% milk fat)

3 Tips for Perfect Yorkshire Pudding
- A hot oven and hot pan – after oiling a 12 cup mini muffin tin it must go in the oven and get hot before pouring in the batter.
- Beat and rest the batter – Using an electric mixer beats air into the batter. Resting it allows for the gluten free flours and starches to absorb liquid. Beat the batter again just before pouring it into the pan.
- Timing is Key – I remember learning “the soufflé does not wait for the guests, the guests wait for the soufflé”. Yorkshire pudding is the same. Plan to have everyone seated at the table when the Yorkshire pudding comes out of the oven. They're puffy and impressive so carry them directly from the oven to the table. I easily released them from the pan using a firm plastic spatula.

The Best Horseradish Cream Sauce
I love it when unexpected and delicious things happen in the kitchen. For me it was a Prime Rib Yorkshire slider!
When I saw day old Yorkshire pudding in the fridge I thought, "I’m making a prime rib sliders!" I cut the Yorkie in half and filled it with warm prime rib dipped in au jus. With a dab of this horseradish cream sauce it was divine!
To make the horseradish cream sauce I mixed ¼ cup horseradish with 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ½ teaspoon salt. |

Get The Tools
There is a special popover pan that can be used to make popovers, Yorkshire pudding and regular muffins. I don't have one so I used my metal mini muffin tin. I like the small size and I also use that mini muffin tin to make two-bite brownies, mini cheesecake cupcakes, mini muffins, energy balls and so much more.
As always follow the recipe instructions closely for best results and let me know in the comments how they turned out.

Made these last night as part of our Christmas prime rib roast dinner. They were wonderful - light, fluffy and delicate. Better than many of the "regular" yorkshires I made before going gluten-free,

Hi Janet! I'm so happy they turned out and I agree, with those tips they are better than many yorkies I've had made with wheat flour. Thanks for letting me know.

I was disappointed that you list "I used my mix" but fail to provide which of the eleven you might have used.
It leaves me back to experibaking.
Cheers,

Sorry James. I've used what I call "my GF flour mix" for 4 years and only in the last year have I started writing more about all the different blends people are using. I will clarify this is my recipes and call it my EGFG Flour Blend and include it at the bottom of each recipe. My blend is sweet rice flour (300g), potato starch (300g), sorghum flour (200g), millet flour (200g). I use it in almost all of my recipes with the exception of a few cookies where it didn't work. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I hope you get to try the Yorkshire Pudding!
