Yorkshire Pudding

By Coppermouse

This was a must with roast beff on Sunday afternoons.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 2 eggs, beaten*
• 2-4 Tbsp of roast drippings
• If you double the recipe, add an extra egg to the batter

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Form a well in the center. Add the milk, melted butter, and eggs and beat until the batter is completely smooth (no lumps), the consistency of whipping cream. Let sit for an hour.

2 Heat oven to 450°F. Add roast drippings to a 9x12-inch pyrex or ceramic casserole dish, coating the bottom of the dish. Heat the dish in the oven for 10 minutes.

For a popover version you can use a popover pan or a muffin pan, putting at least a teaspoon of drippings in the bottom of each well, and place in oven for just a couple minutes.
