CLASSIC YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Classic Yorkshire Pudding image

Not a pudding, but a puffed pastry baked with meat drippings. We in the U.S. tend to think Yorkshire pudding and popovers are the same thing. Popovers are hard and very airy. Yorkshire pudding is softer and doesn't rise as high as a popover. Traditionally served with roast beef.

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING



The Best Yorkshire Pudding image

Our classic pudding is deeply savory, making it the perfect accompaniment for roasted meats. The beef fat adds both richness and flavor but also keeps the pudding from sticking to the pan. Be sure to let the dough rest before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate and create the soft pillowy texture that Yorkshire puddings are known for. It's also important to preheat the pan; the puddings won't rise and puff unless your tin is literally smoking hot.

Categories     condiment

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/4 cup rendered beef fat (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, milk, eggs and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until smooth-be sure not to over mix. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spoon 1 teaspoon beef fat into each hole of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and cook until the fat melts and the pan is very hot, 5 to 6 minutes. Working quickly, pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each tin about halfway. Bake until the puddings are golden brown and very puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

MY MUM'S EASY AND TRADITIONAL ENGLISH YORKSHIRE PUDDING



My Mum's Easy and Traditional English Yorkshire Pudding image

Exactly as the title says, this is my Mum's Traditional English Yorkshire Pudding recipe and it is so easy. It is slightly different from my Toad-in-the-Hole batter recipe, the Yorkshire puddings in this recipe are lighter. (You need a more substantial batter for the addition of sausages!!) I have held off posting this for a while as it is so easy, but it works -please see my photo's! The great thing about this recipe is that it works on equal measures of volume and so there is no weighing or measuring as such. So, if there are only two of you, use a very small cup - if there are a crowd of you, use a big cup, jug or a mug!! Easy! One tip - ALWAYS make sure the oil/fat is SIZZLING hot before you pour in your batter; preheat your tins with the oil/fat before pouring in your batter......that's about it really! NOTE: (I have made the yield between 8-16 individual Yorkshire puddings, depending on the size cup you use. A tip - 4 beaten eggs will make about 8 to 10 Yorkshires.) N.B. My first reviewer quite rightly stated that Yorkshires are often cooked in a large dish/tin; traditionally UNDERNEATH the meat drippings actually!! But, my grandmother & my Mum also made very Traditional Yorkshires in special tins - as photographed; as I understand it, popovers are baked in smaller diameter tins - Yorkshire Pudding Tins have a diameter of at least 4" wide & generally only have 4 holes in a tray!!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 8-16 Yorkshire Puddings, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup beaten egg
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper
1 -2 tablespoon cooking oil or 1 -2 tablespoon dripping

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 240C,475F or gas mark 9. (If you are cooking roast beef and/or roast potatoes, make sure the beef has been removed to "rest" before carving and that the potatoes are moved down to the bottom shelf and NEED browning still.).
  • Pour a scant amount of oil or dripping into your Yorkshire Pudding tins.(A large roasting tin can be used too. If you do not have a Yorkshire Pudding tin which has 4 wide and shallow cups of about 4" in diameter, then use a large muffin tin.).
  • Put the tin into the pre-heated oven about 5 minutes before you want to cook the Yorkshire Puddings.
  • Empty the flour, salt & pepper into a large roomy bowl.
  • Make a dip in the centre and add the beaten eggs bit by bit, mixing as you go along.
  • Add the water/milk mixture gradually and whisk in between each addition.
  • Keep whisking until all the liquids have been added. The batter may still be lumpy - this does not matter.
  • Cover and leave to rest for up to 1 hour.
  • Just before cooking, whisk thoroughly again to break down any lumps & add some more air.
  • Carefully take out the tin/s. Pour the batter into the tin/s and QUICKLY return to the oven.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. DO NOT open the oven in the first 10-15 minutes or they will DROP!
  • If you have two tins cooking, rotate the tins from top to bottom shelves after the 10-15 minutes so they cook evenly.
  • Serve with Roast Beef and lashings of gravy!
  • Can also be served with any Roast Dinner - we love them with Roast Chicken - see photos!

GIANT YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Giant Yorkshire Pudding image

Classic Yorkshire pudding is the combination of a few humble ingredients-eggs, milk and flour-bolstered by the savory drippings from a large beef roast. The recipe is simple, and relies upon just a few ingredients whisked together in a bowl then baked at a high temperature to achieve puffy, golden-brown perfection. (Yorkshire pudding also happens to serve as a perfect accompaniment to said roast.) If you don't have roast drippings, or run short on them, or are serving vegetarians, the recipe can also be prepared using butter instead.

Categories     breads, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 tablespoons/75 milliliters roast drippings (or melted unsalted butter)
5 large eggs
2 1/4 cups/540 milliliters whole milk
2 1/3 cups/300 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with 3 tablespoons roast drippings to coat the base and sides.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and the remaining 2 tablespoons roast drippings to combine. Add the flour and salt and continue to whisk until the mixture forms a loose batter.
  • Transfer the baking pan to the oven and heat until warmed, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the heated pan. Return the pan to the oven and reduce the temperature to 425 degrees. Bake until the pudding is puffy and deep golden-brown, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm. (The pudding may collapse slightly if not served immediately, but it will still be delicious.)

YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Yorkshire Pudding image

This classic Yorkshire pudding recipe comes from the original 1961 edition of The New York Times Cookbook. Serve with your favorite roast beef.

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     Christmas     Bread     Side

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Beef drippings from roast beef (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to hot (450ºF).
  • Beat the eggs with the milk. Sift together the flour and salt and stir this into the egg mixture. Beat the batter until well blended.
  • Discard most of the fat from the pan in which the beef was roasted. Heat an 11x7-inch baking pan or ring mold and pour into it one-quarter cup of the beef drippings. Pour in the pudding mixture and bake ten minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to moderate (350ºF) and bake fifteen to twenty minutes longer, or until puffy and delicately browned. Cut into squares and serve immediately with roast beef.

TRADITIONAL YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Traditional Yorkshire Pudding image

As legend has it, Yorkshire puddings were traditionally cooked in a pan of fat, at the bottom of a hearth, underneath a large piece of roasting beef. The smoky heat from the fire, along with all the other goodness dripping into the pan from the meat, must've made for quite a delicious pastry. Though limited by modern ovens, we can still come close to the original by using real rendered beef fat, without which you're just eating a popover.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅞ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup melted beef fat

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl until light and frothy. Whisk in flour and milk until smooth and lump-free; batter will be thin and barely coat the back of a spoon.
  • Transfer batter to a 4-cup measuring cup and chill in the refrigerator, at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Fill each cup of a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with 1 tablespoon melted beef fat; use your finger to grease the sides and tops of the cups. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet.
  • Heat in the preheated oven on the middle rack until fat is smoking hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and fill each muffin cup halfway full with batter.
  • Bake pudding in the preheated oven until browned and fully puffed, about 25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and immediately poke a hole in the center of each to release steam. Serve hot, warm, or room-temperature.
