Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Whisk in the flour one cup at a time until frothy and well blended. Set aside.
- Distribute the oil equally among 12 muffin cups, a little over a teaspoon per cup. Place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until smoking. Remove from the oven and quickly ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into each cup.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve immediately. I turn my oven off and leave the door partially open with the yorkies inside to keep them from deflating while waiting for everyone to ask for seconds.

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING
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.

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.

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.

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.

GIANT YORKSHIRE PUDDING
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.

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
This recipe is from the British-born chef April Bloomfield, who says it dates back to an era when an English pub might cook a hunk of meat by dangling it from a hook above a roaring fire. The "pudding" emerged from a pan full of runny batter that would have been placed beneath the meat to soak up the juices. "The heat of the fire would make the Yorkshire pudding rise up, and all the fat would seep in," she said. (Life back then was "nasty, brutish, and short," as Thomas Hobbes once griped, but apparently there were upsides.) Of course, making Yorkshire pudding these days is a more domesticated undertaking. "Now what happens is you kind of recreate that," said Ms. Bloomfield, who serves it as part of an order-ahead prime-rib feast at the Breslin Bar & Dining Room in the Ace Hotel in Manhattan. "It's very soulful," she said. "Give me 10 Yorkshire puddings and a thin sliver of beef, and I'll be very happy."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Sift the flour into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Crack the eggs in and whisk together with the flour, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Beat all the ingredients together until the batter is the consistency of cream. Refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of oil into the bottom of each of the 8 wells in a non-stick muffin tin. Put the muffin tin in the oven to heat the oil until it's very hot-almost smoking hot (about 5 minutes).
- Give the batter a quick stir and then pour it equally into each well in the tin (you should hear it sizzle and it should bubble). Return the tin to the oven and bake the puddings for 20-25 minutes, until they have risen and are deep golden brown. These are wonderful with Sage and Onion "Roast".
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.

Tips:
- Use the right flour. All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for Yorkshire pudding, but you can also use bread flour or cake flour. Bread flour will produce a chewier pudding, while cake flour will produce a lighter pudding.
- Make sure the batter is thin enough. The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream. If it's too thick, the pudding will be dense and stodgy. If it's too thin, the pudding will be too runny and won't rise properly.
- Let the batter rest. After you've mixed the batter, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the pudding lighter and more tender.
- Preheat your oven to a very high temperature. The oven should be at least 425°F (220°C) when you put the pudding in. This will help the pudding to rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't open the oven door while the pudding is baking. Opening the oven door will let the heat out and cause the pudding to fall.
- Serve the pudding immediately. Yorkshire pudding is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can serve it with roast beef, gravy, or other traditional British dishes.
Conclusion:
Yorkshire pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, a main course, or even a dessert. It's a great way to use up leftover batter, and it's also a fun and easy dish to make. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Yorkshire pudding every time.
