The British Tradition of Yorkshire Pudding

If you go. Gosh many generations, maybe 200 or 300 years ago, in England especially, yorkshires have been a part of their diner menu. It has been around for a long time. It is basically an English staple that goes with any main meal. Kind of across the social divide, not just the aristocracy, but just regular people loved yorkshire puddings! It is a very simple combination of… eggs mixed with salt to begin with, and then milk and flower added in. That is basically what it is. And to a consistency to where uh it rises in the oven and uh it really pops, it is baked in a muffin tin. It raises above the tin line. It is really just a fun thing to watch because they end up really big, and then kind of lose the balloon I guess effect and it goes down a bit, but then they are served with gravy. And so, My Mom and Dad being born in England and raised in England. That is one of the English dishes they brought from England. So, we had that all the time we grew up. People did not know what yorkshire puddings were if they weren’t form England. We grew to love yorkshire puddings! They went with all the holiday diner and Sunday meal. As we grew up, and I raised my kids, I loved to make yorkshire puddings. I kind of figure out, my mom didn’t have a recipe either. It depends on the consisted of the batter. You just mix it until it is super super good. You the then add it to a muffin tin you grease with Crisco or flower. Then you got to watch them puff up. Anyways, that is kind of how it became a tradition with my kids. They loved them. They love to poke a hole in the yorkshires and fill them with gravy
