You'll probably get a myraid of answers, I know I did when I googled it. Even down to having pre-heated oil or not, there were so many options!

FWIW, for 4 yorkshires, I use 2 eggs, 5tbsp flour, and then enough milk to make it the consistency of double cream, maybe a bit thicker, plus salt to taste. I do tend to find my higher sided pan make the sides a lot higher in general compared to an older lower sided one.

Make sure the fat is really hot. 🙂

I use this one .70g plain flour ,pinch of salt.3 eggs in jug ,top up with milk to 200ml ,whisk together . Slowly add egg/ milk to flour to make a runny paste ( adding slowly and mixing stops big lumps forming)return this to the jug for easy pouring.
Leave to stand ... This is important, they won't rise if you make it and use it straight away.I've made it in the morning to use in the afternoon or evening.
Using a muffin tin, add oil to each indent ,some people use dripping but I dont.Place in oven
Heat oven to around 210 fan.That oil has to be raving.
When oil is hot enough,carefully pour in mix and place back in the oven.
Leave on that temp for around 5 mins until they have started rising nicely then reduce heat down to around 190 until well browned usually about 20mins but keep an eye on them .

here is mine

3 large eggs
250g plain flour
350ml semi skimmed milk
pinch of salt
egg cup full of cold water

Whisk until a smooth consistency

Remember place tray with oil already in into the oven for 5/10 mins before so its really hot.

Then bake in oven at 220 degrees for 28 mins, and avoid opening the door

Mine:
1 egg
1 egg white
70g flour
150ml milk

Done! Mine are WW friendly so I do them in Frylight not fat. But I do put the frylite in the oven before putting the mix in! Makes a difference!

I always make sure my tray is hot and the oil is sizzling before adding the mixture.

I do mine without measuring as I use equal measures.

I put oil in the patty tray and put in the oven about half an hour before I want to put the mixture in and I put the mixture in the fridge beforehand for about 45 minutes to get it really cold. Colder the mixture, hotter the oven and the better they will rise.

To make 4 puddings I crack the egg in half carefully and beat the whole egg. Then I use half the egg shell to measure the milk twice and put an egg's worth of milk in and beat. Then I add a pinch of salt and add an egg's worth of plain flour. So whatever the size egg I put the same measure of milk and flour.

Always get perfect Yorkshires. Don't forgot to not open the oven!

I also do mine by volume. I used two eggs and crack them in to a measuring jug and note where it comes up to and then add them to a bowl. I then measure the same amount of milk and flour and a pinch of salt. I hear the oil for about 30 mins at around 210c and make sure it is smoking. I also make the mixture at least 30 mins before it goes in the oven. I also have a well seasoned pudding pan (think black! ).
