For best results, ensure the beef drippings are smoking hot before adding the batter. This creates the initial puff that is characteristic of Yorkshire puddings. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the puddings to deflate. If you don't have beef drippings, you can substitute with vegetable oil or lard, but the flavor will be slightly different. The resting period allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a lighter and more tender pudding.
