Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 large eggs, and 1 cup whole milk until smooth and free of lumps. Let batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 425°F. Add 3 tbsp vegetable oil evenly into 12-cup muffin tin and place in the oven to heat oil until smoking hot, about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and quickly pour batter evenly into the 12 cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Step 4: Bake Yorkshire puddings for 20-25 minutes without opening the oven door, until puffed up and golden brown.
Step 5: Meanwhile, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 thinly sliced medium onions and sauté for 10-12 minutes until deeply caramelized and soft.
Step 6: Stir in 2 tbsp flour to onions and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Step 7: Gradually whisk in 2 cups beef broth and 1 tsp soy sauce, cooking for 5-7 minutes until gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 8: Serve puffed Yorkshire puddings hot with the savory onion gravy poured over or on the side for dipping.
