Yorkshire pudding
From maurer
Traditionally, this dish was cooked in a pan below a roast, allowing it to collect the roast’s drippings. For a lighter version, we cook Yorkshire pudding separately in the hot oven required to puff it up. In Yorkshire it’s served before the meat course as a hefty pudding. We serve it as the starch with the main course.
