Traditional Yorkshire Pudding
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.

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.
