YORKSHIRE PUDDING

The traditional accompaniment to Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding is equally scrumptious with any heavy sauced meat entree or stew of all sorts.

2 T. meat drippings or vegetable oil (resist the urge to use olive oil) / 2 eggs / 1 cup WHOLE milk / 1 cup all-purpose flour (sorry, no whole wheat here under any circumstances) / about 1/2 t. kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees; make certain oven is fully heated before placing pudding inside.
2. Beat into a very smooth batter all ingredients except oil or fat.
3. Place oil or drippings in round cake pan and turn to coat evenly.
4. Pour batter into pan and cook in oven for roughly 25 minutes until wildly puffed up and golden.
5. Serve immediately.
