Yorkshire Pudding
Makes 8 servings
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup beef drippings
3/4 cup milk
1. Mix flour and salt together until blended. Make a well in
the flour, add the milk, and whisk until consistent. Beat
the eggs into the batter. Add water and beat again until
the mixture is light and frothy. Set aside for an hour (or,
if it's the day before, cover in the fridge overnight).
2. When the roast beef is ready to come out of the oven,
ready the mixture.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
4. Pour off drippings from roast beef and measure out
desired amount (about 1/2 cup should do). Pour
drippings into a 9x12 inch baking dish and place into the
oven until the drippings sizzle. Pour the batter over the
drippings and bake for 30 minutes (or until the sides
have risen and are golden brown). Cut into eight
portions and serve immediately.
