No Sunday roast is ever complete without Yorkshire Puddings. This Gluten free Yorkshire puddings recipe is a perfect no-fail recipe that tastes delicious. They are so easy to make you will want to make them every time you have a Sunday roast.
Everyone in my family loves them, even those who don't require a Gluten-free diet. In my opinion, using cornflour makes the best gluten free Yorkshire puddings. I have yet to find a shop-bought Gluten free Yorkshire Puds recipe that tastes as good.
Yorkshire puddings are a great side dish to have with a traditional Sunday dinner, family meal, other great side dishes the family will love are cottage fries, and cauliflower cheese casserole.

Why we love this recipe
- Made in 30 minutes
- Gluten free - Uses only gluten-free ingredients.
- Crispy and rise well - Cornflour Yorkshire puddings rise really well and turn our perfectly crispy.
- Only 4 ingredients - Only a few ingredients are required plus oil for the muffin tin.
- Freeze well - They can be made in advance and frozen. They taste just as good reheated straight from the freezer.
Ingredients
- Cornflour - Cornstarch in U.S. see my cornstarch vs cornflour post for more information regarding the difference. Cornstarch in the US is known as cornflour in the UK.
- Milk - I used whole milk but this will also work well with semi-skimmed milk.
- Eggs - Be sure your eggs are at room temperature.
- Salt & Pepper - to add seasoning and flavor to the gluten free yorkies.
- Vegetable oil for Tin - I prefer to use vegetable oil as it cooks at a higher temperature. An oil or fat that cooks at a high temperature like sunflower oil, fat (such as goose fat), and beef drippings.
Step by Step Instructions
Below is a brief step-by-step process with photos of how to make gluten-free Yorkshire puddings. See the recipe card below for more detailed recipe instructions.
Step 1: Preheat Oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas mark 7. Place 1tsp of oil in each muffin hole of your tin and place in the hot oven.
Step 2: Add cornflour and milk together and mix well ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3: Beat eggs well and add to milk and cornflour mixture then mix until combined. Then add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture into a jug as this makes it easier to pour into muffin tins. When oil is really hot remove the tin carefully from the oven ensuring you close the oven door once the tin is removed.
Step 5: Pour the gluten-free Yorkshire pudding mixture into the muffin tin half filling each hole and then pop it back in the oven. Try and make this step as fast as you can as you don't want the oil to cool too much.
Step 6: Cook in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes until puddings are beautifully golden brown. Don't open the oven before they are ready as they will sink.
Notes: See my Tips below for the perfect yorkshires that don't sink and are beautifully risen.
Expert Tips
Follow my no-fail tips for how to make perfect Yorkshire puddings.
- Firstly always ensure that the oil is really hot before adding the mixture. Preferably I always use Vegetable oil as it cooks at a higher temperature than other oils.
- keep the oven door closed while pouring the Yorkshire pudding mixture into muffin tins as you do not want the oven to drop in temperature.
- Also, It should be noted not to refill or top up after the mixture is poured as the Yorkshire pudding mixture will begin to cook as soon as it is added to the hot oil.
- Finally, ensure the oven door remains closed during the cooking process as this will result in the Yorkies sinking if not. Do not be tempted to open the door before they are ready!
Following the above steps will result in your gluten-free Yorkshire Puddings being beautifully risen and puffy.
Serving suggestions
Traditionally Yorkshire puds are a perfect side dish known in the UK and very similar to the American Popovers but instead of individual muffin molds use a 12-hole muffin tin.
- Roast Meat - Homemade Yorkshire Puddings are the perfect accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast dinner. Pair with air fryer parmesan brussels sprouts, Ninja Foodi roast potatoes, and gluten free cauliflower cheese for additional side dishes for a roast beef dinner.
- Gluten free Beef stew - Yorkshire puddings taste amazing with lashings of gravy from the beef stew.
- Sausage and mash - A great side dish to pair with sausage with mashed potatoes or sausage traybake.
- Stuffed Yorkshire pudding - If you are feeling adventurous why not try stuffing the cooked Yorkshire puddings with various fillings such as scrambled egg and bacon for a tasty breakfast.
Recipe FAQs

Amanda.....in all my years of searching for a nice rise and texture for my yorkies....this is it!!! My daughter comes for dinner once a week and is Gluten intolerant. I made these tonight to check them out. I must say that these were the best Ive ever had! I did switch out the corn flour for tapioca flour.....and used the large muffin pan with 6 spots in it. The timing , of course, changed due to the quantity .....so I added, ( after checking) another 5 min....but should have added a bit more time. Regardless....no one would ever know these were GF !!
I am stuffing these with roast beef, and gravy for her tomorrow........so good!
Thank you so much for this recipe...going to definitely check out your other ones!!!
Amanda says
Thank you Carrie for the feedback. I loved that this recipe worked out well with tapioca flour for you. Stuffing them with roast beef and gravy sounds amazing!
Carrie Degan says
Reheated these in my air fryer, 400f for about 4 min...omg...perfection! Making another batch to go with chicken tonite!!
Amanda says
Thank you for the tip. I am definitely going to try reheating them in the air fryer next time I have leftovers.
Donna says
These were so good! I used tapioca starch and almond milk and they came out light and crispy. It has been hard to find gluten free recipes that both my husband and I enjoy ( he doesn't need to eat gluten free but does as I only make one version of a recipe). Thank you for posting this.
Amanda says
Thank you so much for the review I am so happy you liked the recipe and it worked well with almond milk.
Leslie says
These are amazing. I lived in the UK for a couple of years, pre-gluten free diagnosis, and now that I’m back in the US I have to fend for myself. This recipe is perfect. Thank you!
Amanda says
Thank you Leslie for the great review. I am so happy that you liked the recipe and are able to enjoy gluten free yorkshire puddings now you are back home in the US.
Peter says
Hi. Should they be placed in the middle or top of oven?
Amanda says
Hi Peter, Sorry about my delay in replying as I was on holiday. For best results place on the top shelf leaving enough room for them to rise. Although I have cooked them in the middle shelf in the past with good results.
Candace says
These turned out amazing! I'm from Canada so I used traditional cornstarch. Husband isn't gluten free and said these are as good if not better than when I make them with white flour.
Amanda says
Thank you Candace for the amazing feedback. It makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed the recipe.
Anya says
This recipe is amazing! My partner is GF so I use this for both of us, I have made 12 small ones, giant ones to fill with stew and used it for toad in the hole and it works every single time, I have definitely shared this recipe 😊 thank you so much!
Amanda says
Thank you Anya for the amazing feedback. It makes me so happy that you also enjoyed the recipe. Thank you so much for sharing ☺️
Ashlee says
Hello, these are amazing. My only issue is that they were a little bit too eggy, but it could very well be something that I’m doing wrong. Is there a way to make sure that the eggs don’t pool at the bottom? These puffed up nice and golden brown, but then they sink after about three minutes being out of the oven.
Amanda says
Hi Ashlee, Thank you for the review. I have not had an issue with them being too eggy or sinking when they come out of the oven. It could be a few things such as the oil and oven was not hot enough when they went in or that they were not in the oven long enough, causing them to sink when they came out.
Tracy says
I have just made these and they where amazing thank you
