Ingredients

150g plain flour
½ tsp salt
250ml milk (use oat or soya if dairy-free)
150ml cold water
3 tbsp oil for the tin

Method

Heat your oil properly

This is the step that makes or breaks egg-free Yorkshires. Add a little oil into each muffin hole and place the tin in the oven at 220°C. It needs to be piping hot, almost smoking.

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. This helps stop lumps later and keeps the batter light.

Add the milk slowly

Pour in half of the milk and whisk until smooth; then add the remaining milk. A thick, pourable batter is what you’re aiming for.

Add the water

Cold water helps the rise. Don’t skip this bit; it makes a big difference in egg-free recipes.

Rest the batter for 10 minutes

While the oil finishes heating, give the batter a short rest. I usually use this time to check my roast or get the kids’ plates ready.

Pour into the hot tin

Carefully remove the tin from the oven; the oil will be sizzling. Pour the batter in quickly and evenly. It should bubble as it hits the hot oil.

Bake. Do NOT open the door

Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden, risen, and crisp. Opening the oven door early will collapse the rise, so resist the temptation.

A Few Notes From Me

I know how hard it is to cook around allergies, especially when it’s your child and you just want them to enjoy the same food everyone else is eating. Egg-free cooking takes practice, but once you get a few staple recipes, it becomes second nature.
