Yorkshire Pudding

This lovely British side dish is similar to a popover, and absolutely ideal for miserable days when hot, buttery, light and crispy comfort food is the order of the day. It is traditionally cooked in a large, shallow tin and then cut into squares to be served, often as an accompaniment to a Sunday roast. They have become such a part of the British culinary tradition, they even have their own day of celebration – the first Sunday of February.

1-1/3 cup (160 g) all-purpose flour, weighed and then sifted
1/2 tsp coarse Kosher salt
3 large eggs, well beaten
1-1/2 cups (366 g) whole milk
1/3 cup (75 g) salted butter, sliced
1 T dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/3 tsp dried thyme

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Mix flour, salt, egg and milk together and beat until just mixed.

It takes a good five minutes for the butter to melt and brown

You want the pan to be very hot before adding the batter or you won’t get the rise

Place slices of butter in a 9×13 pan and place in the oven to melt the butter. Remove when butter is golden brown (4-5 minutes). It’s very important for the rise that the pan be very hot. Pour in the batter, return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Another tip: Don’t peek, and keep the oven door tightly shut!!

This is fabulous to eat when it’s just come out of the oven, and is traditionally served with sausages or beef.

My mom would make a Yorkshire pudding once in a great while when I was younger, and I have elevated the memory of the rich, salty beef broth dripping off the crunchy pastry crust that I’ve always feared I could not replicate it. Perhaps I shall finally give it a try.

Hi, I’m Isabel!

Welcome to Beloved Recipe Box!

When a carefully made feast is prepared, we tend to linger. And these days, sitting down together allows us to dig deeper into how we can be more fully present for the planet and each other in these crazy times.

This group of recipes are tried and true. As recipe requests have increased over the years (and my original recipe cards became dog-eared and food stained), it was clear it was time to create a larger recipe box for them here.

You won’t find any ads on these recipe cards. Just bring a smile, feel welcome and enjoy!!
