What Ingredients do I need for this gluten free Yorkshire pudding recipe?

Corn Starch: Corn starch (aka corn flour) is super light and will allow this gluten-free Yorkshire puddings recipe to grow.
Oil: For this you want to use an oil like vegetable oil or canola oil. You do not want to use olive oil because you want a really high smoke point. For best results, use vegetable oil/
Eggs: Eggs in this recipe are our ever trusty binding agent
Milk: I use regular cows milk in this recipe. If you need to use plant-based milk 
Salt: For flavor

How do I make them?

Preheat oven: to 425°F or 220°/200° c fan
Place oil: place 1 teaspoon of oil into each hole on the non-stick muffin tray
Bake: for 15-20 minutes. You want very hot oil (if it is spitting, that is good)
Make the Yorkshire pudding batter: wisk the eggs into the dry ingredients (salt and cornflower aka cornstarch) in a large mixing bowl.
Add the milk: into the large bowl- a little bit at a time until fully incorporated. you want a smooth batter. 
Open oven door: remove the hot tins, and immediately fill each muffin tin to ¾ full. You need to be quick about this because the oil needs to remain hot. They should sizzle a bit when you add the batter to the hot oil.
Place back into oven: and bake for 15-20 minutes. They should rise and be golden brown. Never open the oven door while they are baking. It will cause them to fall and not rise.
Remove from the oven: once they are baked and serve them with dinner (they pair wonderfully with gravy).

what is the history of Yorkshire puddings

Yorkshire puddings are a traditional British dish with a history that dates back several centuries. 

Origins: Yorkshire puddings have their origins in Yorkshire, England, as the name suggests. They were initially a simple and economical dish created by cooks to make use of excess fat and juices from roasting meat. The batter was placed in a pan beneath the roasting meat, where it would collect the drippings and cook to form a delicious and crispy pudding.
First Recorded Recipe: The first recorded recipe for Yorkshire pudding appeared in a cookbook called "The Whole Duty of a Woman" in 1737. The recipe referred to it as "a dripping pudding" and was served as a side dish with roast meats.
Rise in Popularity: Yorkshire puddings gained popularity throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the north of England. They were commonly served as an appetizer before the main meal to help fill up hungry diners and make the meat go further.
Size and Use: Originally, Yorkshire puddings were larger and flatter than the modern versions. They were often filled with gravy and served as a starter. The trend of making smaller individual puddings, similar to what we know today, started to develop in the 20th century.
Association with Roast Beef: Yorkshire puddings became closely associated with roast beef, forming an integral part of the traditional British Sunday roast. The combination of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables, and gravy became a quintessential British meal.
Adaptations: Over time, Yorkshire puddings have been adapted and incorporated into various dishes. For instance, toad in the hole is a dish where sausages are baked in Yorkshire pudding batter. Mini Yorkshire puddings are also popular as appetizers, often filled with various ingredients.
International Spread: While Yorkshire puddings are a British staple, their popularity has spread internationally, particularly in countries with a British culinary influence. They are enjoyed in various forms and settings, from home-cooked meals to upscale dining.
