Baked Herb Yorkshire Pudding From English Fields And Hedgerows Recipes

HERBED YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place an 8 by 12-inch enameled cast iron baking dish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and light. Whisk in the milk until combined. Add the flour, herbs, a big pinch of salt, and some pepper, beat just until the batter is smooth. Pour the beef drippings into the bottom of the hot pan. Immediately pour in the batter and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes until the pudding is puffy and brown. Serve immediately, it deflates rapidly.

HERBED YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Put a 12-cup muffin pan (preferably light-colored metal) in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, then whisk in the flour until smooth. Stir in the parsley, chives and rosemary. Let the batter sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
• Remove the hot muffin pan from the oven and generously brush each cup with vegetable oil. Divide the batter among the cups, filling each about halfway (about 1/3 cup batter per cup). Bake until the puddings rise and are deep golden brown, about 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking.
• Let them cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove with a small offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• This is the second key to success- the oven must be very hot!
• Re-whisk the batter before using and transfer to large measuring cup or pitcher with a spout so it will be easy to pour.
• Heat muffin tin with 12 muffin cups in oven for 10 minutes.
• This is the third key to success- the muffin tins must be very hot!
• Transfer drippings or melted butter to a measuring cup with a spout so you can easily pour it into the muffin tin.
• Pour about 1 tsp drippings or melted butter in each muffin cup.
• Return pan to oven for about 6 to 8 minutes.
• This is the last key to success- the fat must be very hot!
• Pour batter evenly into the muffin cups onto the hot fat.
• Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Return pan to oven until drippings are very hot, about 8 minutes. Immediately spoon 2 generous tablespoonfuls batter atop hot drippings in each muffin cup. Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 minutes (puddings will sink in center but edges will stay puffy). Serve hot.

TRADITIONAL YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl until light and frothy. Whisk in flour and milk until smooth and lump-free; batter will be thin and barely coat the back of a spoon.
• Transfer batter to a 4-cup measuring cup and chill in the refrigerator, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Fill each cup of a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with 1 tablespoon melted beef fat; use your finger to grease the sides and tops of the cups. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet.
• Heat in the preheated oven on the middle rack until fat is smoking hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and fill each muffin cup halfway full with batter.
• Bake pudding in the preheated oven until browned and fully puffed, about 25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and immediately poke a hole in the center of each to release steam. Serve hot, warm, or room-temperature.
