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.
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.
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."

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:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place an 8 by 12-inch enameled cast iron baking dish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and light. Whisk in the milk until combined. Add the flour, herbs, a big pinch of salt, and some pepper, beat just until the batter is smooth. Pour the beef drippings into the bottom of the hot pan. Immediately pour in the batter and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes until the pudding is puffy and brown. Serve immediately, it deflates rapidly.
VEGAN YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS
Traditional Yorkshire puddings, like popovers and soufflés, rely on eggs and dairy for their crowning puff and custardy center. Vegan cooks use neither, so this savory recipe is a particularly impressive workaround by Mary McCartney, who stopped eating meat in in the late 1970s when her parents, Sir Paul and Linda, became vegetarians and activists. The structure here comes from protein-rich chickpea flour and aquafaba, Italian for "chickpea water," and the rise from baking powder and cider vinegar. The recipe needs to be followed closely for best results, particularly the oven temperature, the material and size of the muffin tin (metal and standard 3-ounce cups) and the amount of oil in each cup.

Steps:
- Drain the chickpeas, reserving 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon/140 grams aquafaba (chickpea liquid). (Reserve the chickpeas and any remaining liquid for another use.)
- In a large pitcher or bowl, whisk the aquafaba, vinegar and 1 1/2 cups/350 milliliters water together. Sift the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour and baking powder into a medium bowl. Add the salt and whisk together.
- Pour the combined liquids into the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Pour back into the pitcher and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- While the batter chills, heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Using a standard 12-cup metal muffin tin (with 1/2-cup cavities), preferably nonstick, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to each of 9 cups. About 10 minutes before the batter is done chilling, place the oiled tin in the hot oven to heat.
- Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Stir the batter and pour into the muffin cups; the batter should sizzle vigorously as you add it, and each cup should be nearly full. Return to the oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes. The puddings will rise, then fall, possibly making a well on the top. Turn down the heat to 400 degrees and bake about 10 minutes more, or until the tops are deep golden brown and the insides are cooked through and just dry (peer into the well to check; the inside should be matte, not shiny). Remove from the oven, let the puddings rest for about 3 minutes, then use a spoon or spatula to lift from the tin and serve immediately.
