Easy as pie.... or Yorshire Pudding!

Honestly, who can resist those golden brown airy pillows of pure love. I'll admit making hundreds can be a bit more work, but with a dinner for two virtually no effort more than patience is required.... the proof is in the pudding.

Ingredients:
1/2C Flour
1 Egg
190ml Homogenized milk
pinch of salt
2 tsp Bacon fat

1. Mix together flour, salt and egg. pour in milk and whisk until no lumps remain.
2. Pass mixture through a fine strainer into a cup for easy pouring. Cover with saran and let sit for at least 30 min.
3. During this wait time preheat oven to 350F and place muffin tin on middle shelf to heat.
4. After the rest period, put 1 tsp of bacon fat in two of the muffin cups, place back in the oven for a minute to heat the fat.
5. Pour the mix to the top of each cup, place back in the oven and let the magic begin.
6. Approx 20 - 30 min later they should look big, beautiful golden brown and when lightly squeezing the sides there should be no squishy center.
7. Pop out and enjoy.

I love Yorkshire pudds! Traditional stodgie fiiler fayre from the North of England they were served as a course by themselves with gravy from the meat juices to stave off the hunger of the men folk returning after a hard days graft in the mill or down the mines (or pub if it was Sunday!) before they had the main course of meat and veggies.
Have you made Toad in the Hole? Just half cook some good quality sausages in the oven then pour the Yorkshire pudding batter over the top and return to the oven until risen, brown and crispy. Serve with rich brown onion gravy. Nowt better lad, a can tell ye!
