My in-laws make this for many of the special occasions we celebrate. It is usually served with a deliciously roasted piece of meat (prime rib, roast beef or beef tenderloin). I have to admit, until I became part of the Manders clan I had not heard of or had it before. It has grown on me and I almost always have seconds — if there’s any left! My niece Meghan is the proud chef.
Yorkshire Pudding
3 large eggs (2 jumbo)
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Or better yet, meat drippings)
It's almost as pretty as Meghan!
Warm eggs and milk to room temperature. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Put vegetable oil in a glass square 9 x 9 baking dish. Put baking dish in oven to heat it. While baking dish is heating, mix eggs, milk, flour and salt together in a bowl with a mixer or wisk. When baking dish is VERY hot (this is important) remove from oven and immediately pour pudding mixture into baking pan (It should start to sizzle when you pour the mixture in). Immediately return to oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes until a beautiful golden brown. The sides and center should should rise to make beautiful golden hills and valleys. Remove from oven, cut into individual portions (4 servings). Serve immediately.
It is the best…George’s Mom use to make it all the time…when we were first dating, it was new to me too ( I was use to Italian),,,I have since made it many times over the years with Roast Beef, lil carrots and red skinned potatoes…So yummy. It is one of our favorites!!!!
Mary Ann, how funny, I was just wondering if George remembered it from dinner at Nana’s when we were kids. This receipe came straight from England. Our Grandfather (George and Michele’s) made this recipe almost every Sunday. He was always in charge of Sunday dinner. Then, when he passed, Nana continued to make it. I’m so glad Aunt Joan knew the recipe, I was worried it might not pass to the next generation! Luckily, its one of Meg’s favorites! Also, Aunt Ag was trying to keep the receipe to herself, because every time Mom asked for it when we were kids, she’d add an ingredient and Mom’s yorkshire pudding wouldn’t come out right!
