Yorkshire pudding

Yorkshire pudding is a baked dish made from eggs, flour, and milk or water. It’s a popular English side that adapts to its ingredients, size, and the meal. Served with onion gravy, it can start a meal. With meat and gravy, usually roast beef, it becomes a main course, often in a Sunday roast. Alternatively, it can be filled with bangers and mash. Adding sausages turns it into toad in the hole. In some Midlands regions, it’s even a dessert with sweet sauce. Hannah Glasse, an 18th-century cook, was the first to name it “Yorkshire pudding” in print. Yorkshire puddings are similar to Dutch baby pancakes and popovers, an American light roll made from an egg batter.
