Yorkshire Pudding

Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk or water, the Yorkshire Pudding is a staple of the British Sunday Roast™. When poured into a mold and baked in a hot oven, the batter rises and transforms into a light, crisp, golden brown puff that can be filled with gravy, mashed potato, meat, or preferably all three. The recipe for this iconic item originated in a recipe book called "The Whole Duty of a Woman," which was published in 1737. In this book, the Yorkshire Pudding was referred to as a "dripping pudding," a term which is now used as a pejorative for any northern Englishman who wears a coat in wintertime.
