Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire pudding is a simple egg, flour, and milk batter poured into a pan of smoking hot fat, where it puffs into a hollow, crisp-edged cup alongside a roast.
Where it comes from
It began as a way to use fat dripping from a roasting joint of beef, cooked underneath the meat to catch the drippings before the roast itself was ready, filling the plate before the pricier meat arrived.
What cooks argue about
Cooks disagree on how long to trust it: the fat must be smoking hot before the batter goes in, and opening the oven door too soon collapses the rise before it sets.
