Yorkshire pudding
Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire Pudding (/ˈjɔːrkʃɪər ˈpʊdɪŋ/) is a traditional British dish, originating from the county of Yorkshire, England. Despite its name, it is not a pudding in the dessert sense, but a type of bread or pastry.
Etymology
The term "pudding" in this context comes from the old English word "pud", meaning a small lump or portion, which is what the batter turns into when cooked. The "Yorkshire" part of the name refers to the region in Northern England where the dish is thought to have originated.
Description
Yorkshire Pudding is made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, and milk or water. It is traditionally cooked in the oven in a tray of hot fat, which causes it to rise and become crisp and golden. The result is a light, airy pastry that is often served as a side dish with roast beef and gravy, although it can also be filled with various other ingredients.
