Every year October 13th is celebrated as Yorkshire Pudding Day. This yummy pudding has its origins in North-east Britain and the first ever recorded recipe of it was in 1737 in a book titled "The Duty of a Woman". At the time the pudding was called Dripping Pudding. This pudding was eaten and served to the poor who could not afford a better meal. It was originally used as a first course meal. In time, it became popular with the aristocrats, elite and even friendly tourists in search for traditional English food. Today, it is eaten around the world!
The Foodista gives you an adaptation of a classic recipe of the Yorkshire Pudding from 1866.
Serves 2. If you double the recipe, add an extra egg to the batter
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
2-4 tablespoons of roast drippings
1. Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk, melted butter, and egg. Beat until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Leave it aside for an hour.
2. Heat oven to 450F or 230C. Add roast drippings to a 9x12 inch ceramic casserole dish or anything similar. Coat the dish and heat in the oven for 10 minutes. Muffin pans also work.
3. Pour the batter into the pan, when the pan is hot. Cook for 15 minutes at the above mentioned temperature and then reduce the temperature to 350F or 175C and bake for 15-20 minutes until it's puffy and golden brown.
4. Cut into squares and serve hot.
Happy Yorkshire Pudding Day!
