Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil or beef dripping
- 8 oz (225g) cooked bacon, diced
- 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) chopped fresh chives
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Whisk together flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until just combined. Let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a small amount of oil or beef dripping (about 1 teaspoon) in each muffin tin cup and place the tin in the oven for 5 minutes to get the oil smoking hot.
- Working quickly, remove the hot tin from the oven and carefully pour the batter into each cup, filling about halfway. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven door during baking!
- Remove Yorkshire puddings from the muffin tin and place them on a baking sheet. Top each pudding with diced bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and top each Yorkshire Loaded Potato Skin with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately!
