A puffy, bread-like side dish, Yorkshire pudding is made by baking an egg-and-milk
batter in hot oil or the fat drippings from a beef roast. Yorkshire pudding is a
traditional English dish named after a northern county in England. Yorkshire pudding
is a traditional savory accompaniment to roast beef, which is served with or before
the main course.

Using only a few ingredients, this savory English pudding can be a nice addition
to a dinner or lunch. Light and fluffy, but still richly flavored, it’s no wonder
this recipe has been around for centuries. Serve with warm gravy or with a hearty
entrée.

 * 4 eggs (1 cup, 240 mL)
 * Plain Flour (1 cup, 128g flour)
 * Milk (1 cup, 240mL)
 * 1/8 teaspoon salt
 * 1 tablespoon (15mL) vegetable oil or lard, halved
 * 2, 12 oz ramekins

## Instructions

 * Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C.

   equal parts.
