Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Sift flour and salt together into bowl. Add milk, mix thoroughly. Add eggs, well beaten. Gradually add water and beat until large bubbles appear. Bake in preheated pan with 1 stick of melted butter or margarine (Optional: Use half meat drippings and 1/2 stick butter.) Pour mixture into pan and bake 30 minutes, until crusty and golden brown. Serve in place of potatoes with gravy. Serves 4-6.
Many people think of a dessert when hearing about Yorkshire Pudding for the first time. It's actually a bread-like, savory side dish from England that is similar to a popover. It is to be served with a beef roast or something similar and best when served with gravy. Even though it is very easy to make, the taste and presentation of this dish will blow your family and friends away!
I always make this alongside a roast and use the beef drippings to cook this pudding in. If you don't have the beef drippings, use the oil provided in the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup of all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. of beef drippings OR 2 Tbsp. of oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with beef drippings or oil.
In a large bowl, mix together the milk, eggs and salt. Beat until smooth. Gradually whisk in flour until it's lump-free and resembles a thick cream. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Preheat the pan for 15 minutes in the oven so the drippings/oil are hot and sizzling.
Carefully pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake 20 minutes.
Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking 15 minutes. The mixture should be puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and serve hot.

My husband(British) loves Yorkshire Pudding (Pudds) The batter is poured either around the roast of beef or poured into the hot pan drippings and baked. The recipe done in muffin tins is for "popovers" (an American recipe.) This is written in case any readers are not familiar with either. Hope this helps! (01/11/2005)
