From time to time I’ll add in some of my favorite recipes. This one is a favorite of mine from the Olde Country. The “e” in Olde stands for England.

Yorkshire Pudding Recipe

Yorkshire Pudding, despite what the Yanks may think, has absolutely nothing to do with Bill Cosby or Jello. Yorkshire Pudding came about some time ago when food supplies were short and the squalid masses needed something to stretch out a stringy piece of meat. Originally it was referred to as “English Meat Grease Bread,” I believe, or I could be making that part up. The people of Yorkshire have a reputation for bluntness, so maybe not.

Anyway, despite its meager beginnings, it’s a delightful way to use the delicious drippings from a nice roast or steak or even sausage. Always cook it right before you serve it. It doesn’t keep, unless of course you work in a Yorkshire pub, in which case they will serve it to you months after it should be thrown out.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup flour (4 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon water
2 eggs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 450.
Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
Make a well in center and add milk and water gradually, beating with a wooden spoon.
Beat eggs separately until fluffy.
Add to flour mix.
Beat until bubbles rise to surface.
Pour batter into a pitcher and refrigerate for 1/2 hr.

When meat is done, remove from pan and place on a warm platter.
Re-beat batter and pour quickly into still hot cooking pan.
Bake in oven for ten min at 450.
Reduce heat to 350 and cook for 15 min more, or until it is well risen and has turned golden brown.
Serve immediately from pan in which it was cooked.

I will try this recipie, it sounds like real food that can be prepared in a short time. I have a full time job and I am always looking for something substantial to cook that does not require hours to make. Thanks again.

If Denise wants substantial, rather cook “Toad in the hole” Make the Yorkshire pud but just before putting in oven put in some pre-cooked (pref. fried or grilled)sausages, lay them in so that the mixture flows between them all.

I recently saw a show on TV featuring Gordon Ramsey (watch him whenever I can), in which he was helping a pub in England to survive. They made the most wonderful Yorkshire pudding. I’ve never eaten it before. It looked as if it was prepared in a large muffin pan and puffed very high. It was sliced and the gray poured over it. Next to painting, cooking is my love.
Wanted to try this delightful dish. I cook for several special events, Masters tournament in Augusta, GA, and GA Seminars by the Sea, Tybee Island, GA. Always looking for something different!

Thanks for allowing me to see your recipe! Will try it.
