JAMES BEARD'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Taken from The James Beard Cook Book, 1961 copy. I prepare this recipe every time I do a prime rib roast, always with excellent results.

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup flour (scant cup)
salt, to taste
beef drippings, as required

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer (or a LOT of elbow grease) until they are light and fluffy.
  • Gradually beat in the scant cup of flour and the milk.
  • Add salt and about 2 tablespoons of beef drippings from the roast it is assumed you are also making.
  • Heat a baking pan (like a cake pan) in the oven (set at 450F) until it is hot, then pour 1/4 cup of beef drippings into the bottom of the pan.
  • Immediately pour in batter and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350F and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until Yorkshire is puffy and well browned.
  • Cut into squares to serve.
  • James Beard suggests making this after the roast comes out of the oven:"This can be done after the roast is removed from the oven and while it is standing to let the juices settle".

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

This recipe is from the British-born chef April Bloomfield, who says it dates back to an era when an English pub might cook a hunk of meat by dangling it from a hook above a roaring fire. The "pudding" emerged from a pan full of runny batter that would have been placed beneath the meat to soak up the juices. "The heat of the fire would make the Yorkshire pudding rise up, and all the fat would seep in," she said. (Life back then was "nasty, brutish, and short," as Thomas Hobbes once griped, but apparently there were upsides.) Of course, making Yorkshire pudding these days is a more domesticated undertaking. "Now what happens is you kind of recreate that," said Ms. Bloomfield, who serves it as part of an order-ahead prime-rib feast at the Breslin Bar & Dining Room in the Ace Hotel in Manhattan. "It's very soulful," she said. "Give me 10 Yorkshire puddings and a thin sliver of beef, and I'll be very happy."

GORDON RAMSAY'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

The Yorkshire pudding mix can be made two or three days before and kept in the fridge. Be sure to make the baking tray piping hot, says Mr. Ramsay, so that when the cold batter hits, the puddings will puff up. Once ladled into the tray, sprinkle with coarse salt, and then once in the oven, leave the door closed. "Treat it like a soufflé." Try this with a roast and gravy but they are so good that you can have them with anything! I included the minimum amount of resting time in the prep time and the time for the stove to heat up before cooking in the cooking time. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 12 puddings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil (or beef drippings)

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blend until well combined and place in the refrigerator until ready to use (allow to rest for at least 30 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Put 1 teaspoon of the oil (or beef drippings) into each section of a 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tray and put into the oven on the top shelf until very hot, almost smoking.
  • As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters fill the tins (it should sizzle) and immediately put back into the oven.
  • Bake until the Yorkshire puddings are well risen, golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING



The Best Yorkshire Pudding image

Our classic pudding is deeply savory, making it the perfect accompaniment for roasted meats. The beef fat adds both richness and flavor but also keeps the pudding from sticking to the pan. Be sure to let the dough rest before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate and create the soft pillowy texture that Yorkshire puddings are known for. It's also important to preheat the pan; the puddings won't rise and puff unless your tin is literally smoking hot.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/4 cup rendered beef fat (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, milk, eggs and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until smooth-be sure not to over mix. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spoon 1 teaspoon beef fat into each hole of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and cook until the fat melts and the pan is very hot, 5 to 6 minutes. Working quickly, pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each tin about halfway. Bake until the puddings are golden brown and very puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
