Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a mini muffin tin in the oven to heat up.

Pro tip: Heating the tin ensures a crispy yorkie base.

Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add milk and eggs, whisking until smooth.

Pro tip: Let the batter rest for 10 minutes for better texture.

Grease the Tin

Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Add a drop of vegetable oil into each cup.

Pro tip: Be careful, the tin will be very hot.

Add the Batter

Pour the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway.

Pro tip: Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow.

Bake the Yorkies

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Pro tip: Do not open the oven door during baking.

Prepare the Filling

While yorkies bake, warm the gravy and slice the roast beef if not done.

Pro tip: Keep the filling warm for best results.

Fill the Yorkies

Once baked, remove yorkies from the oven, fill each with a slice of beef, a spoonful of gravy, and a sprinkle of cheese.

Pro tip: Work quickly while the yorkies are hot.

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle chopped chives over the stuffed yorkies before serving.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Tips & Tricks

Use a mini muffin tin for the perfect baby yorkie size.
Ensure your batter is smooth to avoid lumps.
Preheat your tins for a crispy exterior.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these stuffed baby yorkies warm, straight from the oven, as they are best enjoyed fresh and crisp. Pair them with a light salad or a creamy dipping sauce to complement the rich flavours. If you're planning ahead, the yorkies can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. Reheat them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness before serving.
