The Best Yorkshire Pudding

 

This truly is The Best Yorkshire Pudding. 

Yorkshire Pudding: It's not just a side dish, it's a British culinary icon! When I visited London, I looked everywhere to find a Pub or Restaurant that served this wonderful delight, but I was there for only a day, and most of the places either didn’t serve them or only on Sunday. While I was disappointed a bit, I still loved every part of our day in London, and it gave me the inspiration to make Yorkshire Pudding for my family at home.

This puffy, savory delight has a history as rich as its flavor. While its cousin, the popover, might be all about airy lightness, Yorkshire pudding embraces the beefy goodness of drippings, resulting in a dish that's both hearty and delicious. Paired with a Roast Beef of Prime Rib dinner, you will probably never make simple bread rolls ever again. So next time you're craving a truly British experience, reach for the Yorkshire pudding—your taste buds will thank you, and so will your family and friends that you make this recipe for.

Often confused with popovers, Yorkshire pudding has its own unique history and flavor profile. While both are baked in muffin tins and have a hollow center, Yorkshire pudding uses beef drippings for richness and flavor, giving it a savory edge. Popovers, on the other hand, rely on butter and milk for their airy texture and are often served as an appetizer or side dish.

I use Wagyu Beef Tallow when I’m in a pinch and I haven’t any beef drippings, or not much is available after making the roast. Beef Tallow has such a rich flavor and this simple shortcut makes creating this dish much easier and still tastes amazing!

Tips for making Yorkshire Pudding:

1: Use Wagyu Beef Tallow in a pinch, especially when beef dripping is unavailable 

2: A Popover pan is a must, if you want the tall Yorkshire Puddings, but I have made them in a regular muffin pan with great success as well. You can also use separate Popover baking cups.

3: Be sure to chill the batter at least one hour or more, or even overnight.

4:  Make sure to have your oven pre- heated for 15 minutes before placing the popover pan with oil poured in. This will ensure the oil or drippings will be hot enough before pouring in the batter.

5: Be sure to let them bake for 40 minutes without opening the oven, to ensure they refrain from deflation.

Perfectly Puffy Yorkshire

Pudding

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk or water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons melted Wagyu Beef Tallow, unsalted butter (or cooled meat drippings)
• Neutral oil or nonstick spray for greasing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

In a blender, combine the eggs, milk (or water), and salt. If you prefer, whisk everything f jether in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the flour

and blend until smooth and free of lumps. Pour in the cooled, melted Beef Tallow, butter (or drippings) and mix until fully incorporated. Transfer the batter to a pitcher or glass container, cover, and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour-overnight is even better.

2. Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 30 minutes.

While some recipes call for an initial higher temperature before lowering it, l've found that maintaining a steady temperat from start to finish yields the best results—

creating tall, airy puddings that don't collapse.

3. Prepare the Pan:

Lightly pour 1 teaspoon of neutral oil, melted Wagyu Tallow or leftover roast drippings, into each section of your popover pan or muffin tin with. Place the pan in the hot oven for 15 minutes to ensure it's sizzling hot before adding the batter.

4. Bake to Perfection:

Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and pour the chilled batter into each section, filling them about ¾ of the way. Set the pan on a baking sheet and return it to the oven. Do not open the oven door!

Bake for 40 minutes until the puddings are tall and golden brown.

5. Final Touches:

After 40 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the puddings inside for an additional 5 minutes to cool slightly. Remove them from the pan and serve warm with gravy, butter, jam, or alongside your favorite Sunday roast.

Enjoy the crisp, golden perfection of homemade Yorkshire pudding!
