Yorkshire Pudding

  BACK

You might think Yorkshire pudding must be a dessert as pudding is customarily a dessert treat. However, this type of pudding, a treat among UK residents, is commonly served along side a beef dish and covered with beef gravy. A "Yorkie", as it is affectionately known, can be served as dessert with flavored jam, but most people prefer it with their main dish. This side dish is a perfect way to expose your date to a little bit of culture when you explain that this is an popular English dish. And it is easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup of bacon dripping
• 1/2 Cup milk
• 1 Egg, well-beaten
• 1/2 Cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/4 Teaspoon salt

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 450.
• Combine well-beaten egg and milk and beat until light.
• Gradually beat in sifted flour and salt and mix with an electric mixer beater till smooth.
• Let stand 30 minutes.
• Put about 2 tablespoons bacon dripping into a muffin pan and cover each muffin holder. Heat in oven, make sure you watch pan as it may start to smoke
• batter into the muffin pan, about 2/3 of the way up on each one. You may not fill each cup. Pop in over for 10-15 minutes.
• The trick is the hot fat and the hot oven. Don't keep opening the oven to check. Serve immediately as it will deflate as it gets cold. Pour nice beef gravy over top.

Recommendations:
As starter, we recommend the Stuffed mushrooms.
