Yorkshire Pudding Recipe

A popular dish in the United Kingdom, this Yorkshire pudding recipe is often served with prime rib or other roast beef, or any other gravy abundant meal. It is a dish made from batter utilizing muffin tins with hot roast beef drippings in them.

Now most often served with the main meal, it was traditionally served as the first course, reflecting poorer times when the pudding was meant to fill you up and therefore less meat was consumed.

7/8 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
