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.

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.

Makes approximately six (6) individual popovers (depending on size of pans) or one (1) roasting pan.
Recipe Notes

How do you make Yorkshire puddings rise higher? Let the batter sit. Make sure you rest your batter rest for at least an hour before you cook to ensure a good rise and deliciously light puddings.
History. 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.
Stir the batter and pour into a jug. At the oven (this is safer than carrying a tin of hot oil across the kitchen), carefully pour some batter into the middle of the oil in each hole, remembering that it is very hot. Watch out as the oil will sizzle a bit as the batter hits it.
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.
If you want to go Instagram-ready with sky-high fluffy Yorkshires, add an extra egg white to your batter.They'll tower over the competition. With that in mind, always make sure your Yorkshire puddings have room to rise in the oven.
No and here is the reason why!It must be plain flour (no baking powder). 1/ High temperature oven. Yorkshire puddings rise due to quick cooking of the flour and steam being formed in the batter mixture, hence the requirement of a very hot oven and hot oil as you pour the batter into the yorkshire pudding tin.
Let's get the cold, hard facts out of the way: the US does not have yorkshire pudding. Grocery stores don't stock Aunt Bessie's between the frozen peas, ice cream and mozzarella sticks. Home goods stores don't carry tins to make yorkshire pudding in alongside cake molds and pie pans.
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.
Yes, the batter should be runny, about the consistency of heavy cream. Here is my very quick, easy and amazing cheap recipe together with some important points which will make sure the puddings are a success.
So, if just want to make yorkshire pudding without the roast, look for beef suet. I've used bacon fat, chicken fat and vegetable oil, all to good effect. Any fat with a high smoke point will do.
One of the main reasons why Yorkshires don't rise is because the oil isn't hot enough, so make sure it's bubbling and sizzling as you pour your batter in. Make sure you aren't over-filling the tin – fill each hole about a third or halfway up, any more and they may collapse through the weight of batter.
Resting the batter overnight is key for developing better flavor. Forget about cold batter: letting it rest at room temperature helps it rise taller as it bakes. A combination of milk and water gives the Yorkshire puddings extra rise and crispness.
Over-filling your Yorkshire pudding tin will lead to heavy puddings, which won't rise to lofty heights. Whether you're making individual Yorkshire puddings or a large pud to carve up, only fill the tin about a third of the way for optimum puds.
Steam is a common physical raising agent. It is produced from the liquids (e.g. water, milk, eggs) that are added to mixtures, or from water contained in a solid component (e.g. butter). Examples of recipes which use steam as a raising agent are batters (e.g. Yorkshire pudding) and choux pastry.
To prevent your Yorkshire puddings from sinking, don't open the oven door before the end of cooking time. When you remove the tin from the oven, do not leave the puddings near any drafts. The most foolproof way to stop your puddings from sinking? Eat them straight away!
