Glucose impact
Medium
Glucose risk
Made from white flour — moderate GI. But each pudding has only 8-15g of carbohydrate, so the glycaemic load per portion is relatively low.
Processing level
Shop-bought Yorkshire puddings are batter (flour, egg, milk) baked in oil — NOVA 3. Homemade from the same ingredients is NOVA 1. Some brands add raising agents or vegetable oil blends.

What to watch for when shopping
Shop-bought Yorkshire puddings are NOVA 3-4 with added palm oil, emulsifiers, and raising agents. A single pudding has 60-100 kcal depending on size. Giant Yorkshires used as wraps can be 200+ kcal each. Homemade Yorkshire pudding (eggs, flour, milk, dripping) is NOVA 2 and uses simpler ingredients. Aunt Bessie's is the most common brand but contains multiple NOVA 4 markers.
