Yorkshire Puddin'

It's more of a bread than a pudding, you'd serve it like they do corn bread in the states. Nothing beats a good Yorkshire puddin' with a roast and gravy.

Servings: about 6
Preperation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons beef fat or lard or butter.

Preperation

  • Heat oven to 425 (see below)
  • Grease 9x12 or so sized baking pan with fat, you may need to melt fat in the oven.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Whisk together, until well mixed
  • Pour batter into greased baking pan (some people claim you need to let the batter sit for an hour or two, then whisk again, but I've never had to)
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until it puffs up and the top starts to go brown - most of the top of the Puddin' will still be yellow - when done, like any bread, a toothpick goes in and out clean
This is fabulous with a roast beef, or roast lamb.

Note: The temperature of the oven is not critical, I've cooked this at anything between 300 and 425, depending on what else I had cooking in the oven, it just takes different times for different temperatures. If I'm doing a pot roast for example, at 250 for 4 or 5 hours, then, for the last 30 minutes I'll raise the temp to 300 to cook the Yorkshire Puddin'.
You just have to watch for when it's done.

Before cholesterol was a concern, we used to cook this 'under' the roast, so that the fat would drip into the pan the pudding was cooking in - that made it more soggy, like a pudding.

Enjoy!
