What Is Yorkshire Pudding

Yorkshire pudding is a popular British side dish where you bake the pudding with a batter of eggs, milk and flour. In Britain, Yorkshire pudding is served with roast beef, such as the picture below. I decided to try this Yorkshire pudding recipe from New York Times. The puddings turned out to be absolutely delightful, fluffy, and I ate them plain even though I had no roast beef and gravy. My Yorkshire pudding recipe is easy and fail-proof, producing light, airy, eggy and absolutely delicious puddings that you can pair with roast beef, sausage or gravy. You can also fill the pudding with a variety of fillings such as beef stew or chili.

I am curious about the difference between Yorkshire pudding and popovers. After much research, I found out that both are very similar with a batter of eggs, milk and all-purpose flour. In America, the version is called popover due to the fact that it literally “pops over” the individual mold after baking. Traditional Yorkshire puddings are baked in the same pan as roast beef, in the beef drippings.

A Perfect Side Dish

If you are tired of dinner rolls, try this recipe and change things up a bit. They can replace your dinner rolls and you will be happy to eat them with your hands, if you like. The middle part of the pudding can be filled with food so you can be versatile when serving.
