YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Yorkshire Pudding image

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk, room temperature
3 eggs, room temperature
¾ cup water
½ cup beef drippings

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.

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.

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.

Tips and Conclusion

Creating mouthwatering Yorkshire puddings requires careful attention to detail and a few essential tips. Firstly, ensure your oven is preheated to a high temperature, around 450°F (230°C), to achieve a crisp outer layer. Secondly, use a muffin tin with deep cups to allow the batter to rise properly. Grease the cups thoroughly to prevent sticking and facilitate easy release. For a golden brown crust, whisk together equal parts of milk and eggs, then add flour and salt. Rest the batter for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the liquid and develop a smooth consistency. Lastly, place a small amount of beef dripping or oil into each muffin cup before pouring in the batter, ensuring an even spread.

To achieve a light and fluffy texture, avoid over-mixing the batter. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined, preventing the development of gluten which can result in a tough texture. Additionally, resist the urge to open the oven door during the initial baking stage, as this can cause the puddings to collapse. Once cooked, serve the Yorkshire puddings immediately with your favorite accompaniments, such as roast beef, gravy, or vegetables, for a delightful and satisfying meal.

In essence, successful Yorkshire pudding preparation relies on proper oven temperature, adequate resting time for the batter, and careful handling during baking. By following these tips, you can create perfect Yorkshire puddings that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, elevating your meal to new heights of flavor and enjoyment.
