Recipe FAQs
- → How do I get the Yorkshire puddings to rise well?
Ensure the oven and muffin tin are very hot before adding the batter. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain steam, which helps the puddings rise.

Yes, bake the puddings earlier, store them, and reheat in a hot oven just before adding the roast beef and horseradish filling.
- → What can I substitute for roast beef?
Smoked salmon works well for a pescatarian option or try thinly sliced roasted vegetables for a vegetarian twist.
- → How do I make the horseradish cream filling?
Mix sour cream with prepared horseradish, half the chives, and freshly ground black pepper for a flavorful, creamy topping.
- → What ingredients are essential for the batter?
The batter consists of all-purpose flour, whole milk, eggs, and sea salt, whisked until smooth for a light rise.
