Cdnshaz, Premium Member Says: “…living in UK I got a couple of (these recipes)….It is best made a few hours in advance and let stand at room temperature.”
SARAH SAYS: British roast beef wouldn't be complete without Yorkshire pudding, which is like a cross between a popover and a soufflé and not at all like a pudding. It's made with a batter of eggs, milk and flour, baked in beef drippings until puffy, crisp and golden brown. It may be prepared in a shallow baking dish, muffin tins or other small containers, or in the same pan as the roast. Like a hot soufflé, Yorkshire pudding will deflate shortly after it's removed from the oven. This specialty takes its name from England's northern county of Yorkshire.

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; spoon into measuring cup and level to rim
3/4 teaspoon salt

3 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup water

2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
3. Pour off drippings from roast beef or put a small amount of oil (About a tablespoon is usually enough) in each special Yorkshire Pudding Pan tin.
4. Put pan in oven until drippings/oil is smoking hot….10-15 min I leave mine.
5. Quickly take pan out of oven, reduce heat to 400 degrees F and fill each well with about 1/2 cup of batter, it should sizzle when it hits the pan.
6. Quickly put back in oven for 25-30 minutes. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DURING COOKING. They will fall.
