Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) or gas mark 6.

Get a 12 cup standard muffin tray and place it in the hot oven.

Crack 4 eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add salt.

Whisk the eggs and salt together for a couple of minutes to incorporate air.

Add all of the flour into the bowl and mix until you have a thick paste.

Gradually add milk a little at a time, mixing after each addition to avoid lumps.

Once the batter is smooth, pour it into a jug with a spout.

Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven.

Divide the batter evenly into the 12 cups of the muffin tin.

Return the tin to the oven and set a timer for 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, check that the Yorkshire puddings have risen and are golden brown.
