Yorkshire pudding is a like a popover not a custard. I make it with Roast Beast and Gravy...the traditional way! In fact the roast is in the oven and the pudding mix is resting!

Grandma’s Yorkshire Pudding

Ingredients:
4 large, fresh eggs, measured in a measuring cup
Equal quantity of milk to eggs
Equal quantity of all purpose/plain flour to eggs
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp lard, beef dripping or vegetable oil

Directions:

I make the batter first while the roast is in the oven.

When I bring the roast out of the oven and let it rest, I raise the temperature of the oven to 450F.

Pour the eggs and milk into a large mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly. Mix the flour with the salt and form a well. Pour egg and milk into the well and with electric hand beater or hand-whisk to create a lump free batter resembling thick cream, if there are any lumps pass the batter through a fine sieve. Leave the batter to rest in the kitchen for a minimum of 30 minutes, longer if possible - up to several hours.

Place a pea-sized piece of lard, or a drippings or ½ tsp vegetable oil in a 12-hole muffin tin and heat in the oven until the fat is smoking. This takes about 5-6 minutes.

Give the batter another good whisk adding 2 tbsps of hot water and fill a third of each section of the tin with batter and return quickly to the oven.

Leave to cook until golden brown approx 20 minutes.
