There are basically only four  things you have to remember to achieve good Yorkshire puddings:-

1. Never use self-rising flour or any kind of raising agent or baking powder. Contrary to what you may think, it actually results in flat,  soggy puddings.

2. Make sure the batter is of the right consistency (a little thicker then unwhipped double cream) and as smooth as possible. Using an electric whisk helps, but is not at all necessary.

 

3. Make sure the oil is VERY hot before pouring the batter into the tin. It may be easier to heat the tin containing the oil on the stove top rather than in the oven. You should aim to have about 3mm/1/8 inch of hot fat in the bottom of the tin before you add the batter.

4. Try not open the oven door for the first 10 minutes of the cooking time and after that, only enough to have a peek at what's happening if you have to. the aim is to allow the puddings to rise, brown and set so they don't collapse.

Some say batter should be left to stand for 30 minutes however this isn't really necessary, though it doesn't hurt.

Remember that a large Yorkshire often has a slightly heavier base. If you want very light and airy Yorkshires, opt for individual or popovers.

By the way - provided they are wrapped tightly once cooled, Yorkshire Puddings freeze a very well.

Happy Yorkshire Pudding making!
