Description
Making gluten free Yorkshire Pudding turns out to be not that difficult. When I was growing up my mom certainly cooked roast beef for dinner but she never made Yorkshire Pudding.
She never made it, I never made it. Funny how that happens.
I don’t often cook a big piece of meat either…it always seems so risky. Timing is crucial and I can choose other dishes that are much more forgiving (chicken anything).
But I’m always up for a culinary challenge so when my husband wanted to cook a prime rib dinner I decided to make gluten free Yorkshire pudding. I have actually made them before but they weren’t memorable. I never did the necessary work; research, recipe adjustments, taking notes, making them again etc.
This time I did just that and here is what I learned.
PIN for later…

Tips for Perfect Yorkshire Pudding
Gluten free or not these are the important points:
- 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 like the saying “the soufflé doesn’t 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 are puffy and impressive looking. Bring them right to the table in the pan to create a little drama and show everyone what you made. I use a fairly firm plastic spatula to easily release them from the pan.
Yorkshire Pudding Sliders
I love it when unexpected and delicious things happen in the kitchen.
The day after our prime rib dinner I saw a lonely little Yorkshire pudding in a container. I thought, I’m making that into a prime rib slider! I put a dab of horseradish cream sauce and a tiny piece of meat dipped in au jus, and sandwiched it into the Yorkshire pudding. Divine!
To make the horseradish cream sauce I mixed ¼ cup horseradish with 1 cup sour cream, 1 Tbsp lemon juice and ½ tsp salt.

Today I think one of my favourite pieces of kitchen bakeware is the mini muffin tin. It made these Yorkies in that pan and I also use it for those Brazilian cheese buns, two-bite brownies, mini muffins and so much more.
