Yorkshire Pudding is a traditional English side dish to Prime Rib Roast. Yorkshire Pudding, is a puffy pop-over like pastry that is served fresh from the oven and iswell-risen and golden brown with a crisp exterior and soft middle.
Traditionally, Yorkshire Pudding is cooked in a large roasting joint of meat in order to catch the dripping fat and then cut appropriately. It is also may made in the same pan as the meat, after the meat has been cooked and moved to a serving platter, which also takes advantage of the meat’s fat that is left behind. It is not uncommon to cook them in muffin tins as popovers.

History: The first Yorkshire Pudding recipe was known as “dripping pudding” and was published in The Whole Duty of a Woman in 1737.
In 1747, Hannah Glasse, published her classic British cookbook called, The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy. Hannah Glasse was one of the most famous cookbook authors of her time. Her cookbook ran through at least 40 editions, many of them pirated. The bookwas published in Dublin from 1748, and in America from 1805. In the 1700s, Yorkshire pudding was served as an appetizer course for roast dinners. Meat was expensive, and so every bit of it was utilized.

Instructions
At least two (2) hours or overnight before you will need this Yorkshire Pudding batter, prepare the batter (minus pan drippings), and place in the refrigerator.
Yorkshire Pudding is cooked after you have taken your cooked prime rib roast out of the oven and you are letting it sit for the required resting period.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
In another bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until light and foamy. Stir in the flour/salt mixture just until incorporated and smooth. NOTE: The batter will be like a very thin pancake batter.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two (2) hours(for best results, refrigerate overnight).
Directions for Cooking Yorkshire Pudding:
Traditionally Yorkshire Pudding is made in one large dish or your meat roasting pan and cut into wedges. individual servings, I have found it is much easier to prepare them in large muffin tins orpopover pans. You be the judge of how you would like to cook and serve them. See photos below.
After you take your cooked prime rib out of the oven, increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
Pour the cooked prime rib meat drippings into your baking pan or muffin tins of choice. For a popover version, use popover pans or large muffin pans, putting at least 1 teaspoon of meat drippings in the bottom of each well.
Place the pan or pans in your oven and get the drippings smoking hot (about 5 minutes). Carefully take the hot pan/pans out of the oven. NOTE: The fat in the muffin tin should be almost smoking.
Remove the prepared coldbatter from the refrigerator. Whisk the batter thoroughly to break down any lumps and add some additional air. Quickly pour the batter into the hot pan/pans on top of the hot drippings. NOTE: If using popover or muffin pans, fill 1/3 full.The fat should sizzle when you pour the batter. Work quickly, so you do o’t lose all the oven heat.

Put the pan back in oven and cook until puffed and dry, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. NOTE: Do not open the oven door during baking.
Remove from oven and serve hot with your Prime Rib Roast.
Makes approximately six (6) individual popovers (depending on size of pans) or one (1) roasting pan.
Recipe Notes
* If you do not have enough pan drippings, add melted butter. You could also add somehomemade beef stock.
The popover is an American version of Yorkshire pudding and similar batter puddings made in England since the 17th century, The oldest known reference to popovers dates to 1850. The first cookbook to print a recipe for popovers was in 1876.
And it would appear it is just as popular over in the US, especially around Thanksgiving. But instead of proudly sporting God's own country in its name, the Yanks call them 'popovers' - getting its name from the “dramatic rise” caused by the steam.
There is a secret to every Yorkshire pudding recipe when it comes to getting Yorkshire puddings to rise properly. In fact there are two. The first is to let the batter rest once you've mixed and the second is to heat your tin and beef dripping so it's piping hot when you do pour the batter in.
As a first course, it can be served with onion gravy. For a main course, it may be served with meat and gravy, and is part of the traditional Sunday roast, but can also be filled with foods such as bangers and mash to make a meal.
That's right, Yorkshire pudding mix and pancake mix are the exact same thing. Yorkshire pudding batter ALSO requires plain flour, eggs, milk and sunflower or vegetable oil. The only difference is the way you cook it. Yorkshire pudding batter is just pancake mix cooked in the oven.
Dutch babies, popovers, German pancakes, Yorkshire pudding are all the same thing just different names. Technically these are all baked puddings and delicious. Try serving them with my delicious strawberry syrup.
The puddings were originally served as a first course with gravy because meat was expensive, and the dough could better fill you up when smaller portions of meat were all that was on offer.
Cooking fat: Yorkshire pudding is a dripping pudding, meaning that chefs traditionally make it using the meat drippings leftover from cooking a Sunday roast dinner. Meanwhile, popover recipes tend to call for butter instead. Yorkshire pudding batter, therefore, takes on a more savory flavor than popover batter.
Yorkshire is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. The population was 3,840 at the 2020 census. The town is located on the northern edge and in the northeast quadrant of the county.
It is almost always because the oil wasn't hot enough. Yorkshire Puddings rise because the water molecules in the milk turn to steam and as they rise, they force the batter upwards to make the puddings grow.
The fat isn't hot enough (it should be smoking hot). The oven isn't getting hot enough (needs to maintain a 220C/425F temperature). Your oven loses heat too quickly when you open the oven door and/or you leave the oven door open for too long whilst you're filling up the Yorkshire pudding tins with batter.
Use a fat that will get hot enough to puff up the yorkies. Olive oil isn't the best choice, but sunflower or vegetable oil reach a higher temperature, which is essential for achieving the maximum reaction when the batter is added.
Resting the batter really does result in better-risen Yorkshire puddings with an airier texture (rather than chewy). About an hour is sufficient to allow the starch molecules to swell, giving a thicker consistency, and for the gluten to relax.
Cooks in the 18th century roasted meat on a spit over the flames in the kitchen fireplace, where it dripped as it cooked. The puddings were carefully placed beneath to catch and be flavored by those drippings.
Yorkshire Puddings are a staple in England with a Roast Dinner. Here in the US we know them as Popovers which are the same thing as the modern Yorkshire Pudding, except using a different pan. Yorkshire puddings are a delicious way to have a bread with your dinner with a minimal time investment.
I've never had a Yorkshire pudding, but an American popover is often served empty, not filled, and served with butter and jam or preserves. You break it open and eat it like you eat a croissant, and with a very similar buttery goodness.
Americans typically think of Jello as pudding, but in England, puddings are a very serious and fancy affair going by such names as Syrup Sponge, Lemon Curd Roly Poly, Spotted Dick, Steamed Plum Sponge, Gooseberry and Elderflower Fool, Lord Randall's Pudding, and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
