Steps:
- Put a 12-cup muffin pan (preferably light-colored metal) in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk the milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, then whisk in the flour until smooth. Stir in the parsley, chives and rosemary. Let the batter sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the hot muffin pan from the oven and generously brush each cup with vegetable oil. Divide the batter among the cups, filling each about halfway (about 1/3 cup batter per cup). Bake until the puddings rise and are deep golden brown, about 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking.
- Let them cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove with a small offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING
A yummy and traditional addition to the holiday feast. If you intend to make this, the timing has to be juuuuust right. I would suggest preparing the mixture the evening before, and having it ready while the roast beef is cooking. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

Steps:
- Mix flour and salt together until blended. Make a well in the flour, add the milk, and whisk until consistent. Beat the eggs into the batter. Add water and beat again until the mixture is light and frothy. Set aside for an hour (or, if it's the day before, cover in the fridge overnight).
- If the batter has been refrigerated, allow it to come up to room temperature before using. When the roast beef is ready to come out of the oven, ready the mixture.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Pour off drippings from roast beef and measure out desired amount (about 1/2 cup should do). Pour drippings into a 9x12 inch baking dish and place into the oven until the drippings sizzle. Pour the batter over the drippings and bake for 30 minutes (or until the sides have risen and are golden brown). Cut into eight portions and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Sift flour and salt into egg mixture; whisk until well blended and smooth. Whisk in all herbs. Let batter stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 3 hours. Rewhisk before using.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place 16 standard (1/3 cup) metal muffin cups in oven to preheat 10 minutes. Place 1 teaspoon drippings from rib roast in each muffin cup. Return pan to oven until drippings are very hot, about 8 minutes. Immediately spoon 2 generous tablespoonfuls batter atop hot drippings in each muffin cup. Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 minutes (puddings will sink in center but edges will stay puffy). Serve hot.
TRADITIONAL YORKSHIRE PUDDING
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.

BAKED HERB YORKSHIRE PUDDING FROM ENGLISH FIELDS AND HEDGEROWS
This is a delightful pudding, normally eaten at supper time, and it is suitable for vegetarians. It has its origins in Northallerton (North of England) and would have been made from wild herbs, gathered from the hedgerows and fields, and eaten with 'mushy' peas. I found this recipe in a small English regional cookery book - Yorkshire Recipes, and have made it regularly as an alternative to Yorkshire Pudding. Preparation time includes the standing time for the batter.

Steps:
- (Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 180'C / 350'F)
- Make the Yorkshire pudding batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl . Break the egg into the centre of the heap of flour. Mix the water and the milk together in a jug. Pour the mixture slowly onto the flour and egg. As you start to pour the water/milk slowly beat the mixture together with a whisk. Add the salt and continue to beat. The puddings will be lighter if the batter includes a little air.
- Once all the ingredients have been beaten together leave to stand, covered by a cloth, for 40 minutes or so.
- Peel the onions, then boil them in water until they are soft. Allow them to cool and chop them into small pieces.
- Put the chopped onions into a large bowl. Add the sage, parsley or mint, bread crumbs, black pepper and salt. (Pepper and salt to taste). Blend together the mixture.
- Now slowly blend in the Yorkshire pudding batter making sure that all is well mixed.
- Heat the dripping in an oven proof dish or roasting tray and pour over the herby batter mixture.
- Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 40 minutes until golden brown and well risen.

Tips:
- Use plain flour for a lighter Yorkshire pudding. Self-raising flour will make it too dense.
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before you start. This will help them to rise properly.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeaten batter will make the Yorkshire pudding tough.
- Heat the oil in the muffin tins until it is very hot before you pour in the batter. This will help the Yorkshire puddings to rise quickly.
- Don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of cooking. This will cause the Yorkshire puddings to collapse.
- Serve the Yorkshire puddings immediately with your favorite gravy.
Conclusion:
Yorkshire pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is a classic British dish that is sure to impress your guests. With a little bit of practice, you can easily make perfect Yorkshire puddings at home.
