Can I really freeze Yorkshire puddings?

[Curtainconundrum]

I have read that I can freeze and reheat Yorkshire puddings. Do they really taste just as good? I know if you reheat chicken or roast potatoes the taste changes. Can someone who has frozen their Yorkshires reassure me please?

I always freeze leftover Yorkshire puddings, it works well for me and I have never had any complaints about them.

They are slightly drier. But nothing that gravy doesn't solve.

If you are planning to freeze them as an organised person (not me) then take them out when they are slightly undercooked.

That’s what Aunt Bessie does!
Yes, you can freeze them for convenience, as they’re quite messy to make.
That’s what I’m going to do this week- make them in the air fryer (shallow Pyrex bowl of oil) freeze and reheat at the end of cooking the turkey (extra hot oven).
But that would also be the point that you’d make them fresh.

For me the perfect Yorkshire had a crispy edge and a softer, slightly stodgy base. Cooking, freezing, then reheating makes them much drier and crispy all over which isn’t my preference and an unequivocal downgrade. However, when there is a lot going on and competition for oven space I do understand practicalities can come first.

Thanks all! This is reassuring. Like @SummaLuvin I quite like the mix of crispy and stodgy but under the circumstances I think we'll take the hit and disguise it all with delicious gravy.

Yes. I have frozen homemade Yorkshire puds and successfully reheated them.

Think I just put them in the oven for about 4 mins, like they were Bessie's.

You absolutely can although they are marginally less good. I have been freezing dairy-free ones for DD so I don't have to do to 2 separate batches on Christmas and for occasional use on random days when she is eating separately to us. It works well.

Basically, I serve frozen and reheated (use the air fryer, works well) to my children who are less discerning but I do like proper, fresh cooked when I want to impress!

Yup, stick them loose in the freezer as soon as you take them out of the oven and they're perfect reheated.

Honestly the Aunt Bessie bake at home ones will save you all the faff. They are so much better than ones that are cooked, frozen and then re-cooked. And they take up hardly any space in the freezer as they are just the dough.

You can but don't taste as nice as fresh.

Here are my air fryer Yorkshire puddings cooling down ready for the freezer. They puffed up a LOT but I’m partial to the crozzled edges…
They’ll get 5 minutes in the oven just before serving. Only 4 to feed this year so it’s small quantities but lots of variety.

Looking good!

Yorkshire pudding popovers are most definitely freezable. I was sceptical about it at first, but like others, I thought Aunt Bessie does it!
I suggest you do a trial run, and decide for yourself whether it's for you. I always do. Then I'm not disappointed or left without a vital component.
Next time you make popovers, freeze a couple and try them after a few weeks.
