For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!
When we started our slimming journeys, we never imagined we’d be able to enjoy another Yorkshire Pudding again, because of the high flour and fat content of traditional Yorkshire Puddings.
These monster Yorkshire Puddings are pretty foolproof: light and fluffy on the inside with a little bit of bite on the outside. No need to buy frozen ones anymore when you can get the perfect Yorkie in less than half an hour.
The best bit is, this batter works so well for so many recipes so once you’ve mastered it, you’ll want to use it again and again for mini versions or even Yorkshire pudding wraps!
What diets is this Lighter Yorkshire Puddings recipe suitable for?
This recipe is suitable if you’re gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;
- Plain flour
You could also enjoy this Yorkshire Puddings recipe if you’re dairy free by replacing the milk with a dairy free alternative.
Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Lighter Yorkshire Puddings?
All these Yorkshire Puddings need is a little bit of elbow grease with a whisk, and a shallow muffin tray to cook them in!
Don’t use a big muffin tray, use one a bit shallower otherwise it might cause these to not rise as well, which would be very bad indeed. This one from Amazon is perfect! You could also pick one up at most large supermarkets too.

Having discovered this recipe I have 4 every Sunday night. They are only 1sp on WW so I factor that it. Best meal of the week, and they work every time. Have even used them instead of a bun for burgers & made toad in the hole.
