Simple Yorkshire Pudding

By AuntieGooper

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon table salt
• 3 tablespoons beef fat

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the eggs and milk into a large bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine salt and flour, then add gradually into the egg mixture. Whisk quickly until the flour is incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Cover it with plastic wrap and let stand for at least one hour, but no more than three.

Collect the fat from the roast. If you're collecting the fat from a fresh roast, the best time to do it is after the roast has been in the oven for an hour, and while the roast rests. Whisk 1 tablespoon of beef fat into the batter until it's bubbly and smooth. Transfer the batter to a large measuring cup or pitcher.

Measure 1/2 teaspoon of beef fat into each cup of a standard muffin pan. Once the roast is out of the oven, set the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pan into the oven to heat for 3 minutes. Quickly remove the pan from the oven, close the door, then divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups so ech are about 2/3 full. Return the pan to the oven then bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and pierce each pastry with a skewer to release the steam and prevent collapse.
