Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup eggs (approximately 5 large eggs)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Fat for Cooking
- 1/4 cup beef drippings or oil (such as olive oil or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to create the signature rise and crispiness in the Yorkshire puddings.
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, heavy cream, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Then, allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to let the ingredients meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
- Heat the Fat: Add the beef drippings or your choice of oil to a muffin tin, distributing evenly in each cup. Place the tin in the oven and heat for 5 minutes until the fat is very hot and shimmering.
- Fill and Bake: Carefully pour the rested batter into the hot muffin tin cups, filling each only halfway to allow room for rising. Immediately return the tin to the oven.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puddings have puffed up dramatically and turned golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent collapsing.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly accompaniment to roasts or gravies.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest is crucial for better texture and rise.
- Using a very hot fat ensures the puddings puff up properly.
- Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the puddings from deflating.
- You can substitute beef drippings with other oils suitable for high heat, like avocado or olive oil.
