About Time:

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 60g plain flour
  • 60ml skimmed milk (HEA milk allowance)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Frylight spray (1 spray per pudding – free)

Optional (add these in for a few extra ):

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • Splash of low-fat milk

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the eggs, flour, skimmed milk, and salt in a jug until smooth. If you’re using low-fat milk, add it here
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for at least 10 minutes. This is important to ensure the hot oil creates a good rise in the puddings.
  3. Lightly spray a silicone muffin tin or ramekins with Frylight.
  4. If using vegetable oil, add about 1/2 teaspoon to each muffin tin or ramekin. Heat them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to get them sizzling hot.
  5. Carefully pour the batter into the hot tins, filling them about halfway up.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes – the puddings will be golden and puffed on top but may still be a bit doughy underneath.
  7. Use tongs to carefully flip the puddings over and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on the size, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy with your roast dinner!

Tips:

  • Don’t open the air fryer basket while the puddings are cooking, as this can cause them to deflate.
  • You can adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer.
  • For richer flavored puddings, you can use a small amount of low-fat cheese
  • Sprinkle it over the batter before cooking.

Here are some extra tips for making perfect Yorkshire puddings in your air fryer:

For the Batter:

Make sure you whisk the batter well to incorporate air. This will help the puddings rise nice and high.
Let your batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.
Use cold milk straight from the fridge for the best rise.

Cooking in the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer for at least 10 minutes before adding the batter. This ensures the oil is hot enough to sizzle and create a good rise.
Use a little oil in each tin to get it sizzling hot before pouring the batter. This helps create a crispy base. Opt for Frylight spray or a small amount of vegetable oil .
To ensure even browning and prevent a soggy bottom, carefully flip the puddings halfway through cooking using tongs.

Variations and Substitutions:

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs to the batter for a touch of flavor.
  • Cheese lovers: For a richer flavor, sprinkle a small amount of grated low-fat cheese over the batter before cooking.
  • Leftovers: Leftover Yorkshire puddings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes until crispy again.
