Traditional Yorkshire Pudding
69k
Chef John
"As legend has it, Yorkshire puddings were traditionally cooked in a pan of fat, at the bottom of a hearth, underneath a large piece of roasting beef. The smoky heat from the fire, along with all the other goodness dripping into the pan from the meat, must've made for quite a delicious pastry. Though limited by modern ovens, we can still come close to the original by using real rendered beef fat, without which you're just eating a popover."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl until light and frothy. Whisk in flour and milk until smooth and lump-free; batter will be thin and barely coat the back of a spoon. Watch Now
- Transfer batter to a 4-cup measuring cup and chill in the refrigerator, at least 15 minutes. Watch Now
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Fill each cup of a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with 1 tablespoon melted beef fat; use your finger to grease the sides and tops of the cups. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet. Watch Now
- Heat in the preheated oven on the middle rack until fat is smoking hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Watch Now
- Remove from the oven and fill each muffin cup halfway full with batter. Watch Now
- Bake pudding in the preheated oven until browned and fully puffed, about 25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and immediately poke a hole in the center of each to release steam. Serve hot, warm, or room-temperature. Watch Now

Footnotes
- Chef's Notes:
- Any high-temp oil will work, but use beef fat if at all possible.
- If making the 6 larger ones in a popover pan, bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 32 to 35 minutes, or until as browned and puffy as possible.

These ended up turning out well despite the mess. I used oil since my roast didn't produce enough fat. I questioned the amonnt of oil needed in each muffin cup (used a pan for large muffins).....

It was awesome. I read somewhere if you don't have beef fat that you can use butter instead.....but I haven't tried it yet.
