Air Fryer Yorkshire Pudding
My favorite thing about Yorkshire pudding is how easy it is to make and how versatile it is. I enjoy it as a side dish, as the main course, or on its own, and it always hits the spot. My kids are obsessed with how it creates a hole in the middle. While they love their Yorkie buns (this is how they proclaimed the dish) with fruit and powdered sugar, I loved my Yorkshire pudding with ham and melted cheese.
How to Make Yorkshire pudding in the Air Fryer
Gather the Ingredients. This recipe will make 16:
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of flour
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ teaspoon of sugar, optional. I like to add sugar for a sweet and savory taste.
- Seasoning of choice. I added a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. While seasoning is optional too, I love how it adds more flavor to the buns. My house smells fantastic!
To make an air fryer Yorkshire pudding, combine the ingredients in a bowl until smooth consistency and pour into hot greased muffin tins, (I used silicone baking cups). Pictures 2 and 3.
Then cook for 13 minutes (flipping after 10 mins) at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 °C). The result is golden, fluffy Yorkshire puddings that are sure to impress your family and friends. Please find the detailed printable instructions in the recipe card below.
I used the air fry function. If using the “Bake” setting you can increase the temperature to 400F/200C.

Notes
What equipment do I need?
For Air fryer Yorkshire puddings you need the Air fryer and muffin tins (greased). The air fryer model that I use is Ninja Foodi 6-in-1. For the tins, I tested this recipe using ramekins and silicone muffin liners. While the Yorkie buns make absolutely no mess and do not get stuck to either ramekins or silicone cups, (I repeat, they must be thoroughly greased), I found that it is much easier to cook the Yorkie buns using silicone muffin cups. They slide out of the muffin tins with ease. Plus they rise better, see the picture below.
Do I need to flip Yorkshire Pudding?
Yes. Cook for initial 10 minutes, then open your air fryer. Once you open it, be prepared for the jaw-dropping effect. You will be amazed at how beautiful they look and how much they have risen. Flip each Yorkie pudding on the other side. At this point, you may decide to take them out of the muffin cups. Cook the bottoms at the same temperature for 3 minutes or until golden to your liking.
