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.

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.

• 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.

ROAST BEEF AND YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bake on a wire rack inside of a large roasting pan in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or to desired doneness. For medium-rare, the meat thermometer should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Remove roast from pan, reserving drippings.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat the two eggs until frothy. In another small bowl, mix the salt and flour. Stir the beaten eggs into the flour. Stirring constantly, gradually pour in the milk.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the reserved pan drippings into a medium muffin tin. Place in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the egg, flour and milk mixture into the hot drippings. Return muffin tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until fluffy and golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. In a bowl, beat the flour and mustard powder with the eggs until you have a smooth, thick batter. Gradually beat in the milk until the batter is the same consistency as single cream, then stir in the herbs, and season.
• Pour a drizzle of oil into each hole of a sturdy 12-hole muffin tin. Put the tin in the oven and heat for 5 mins. Working quickly, remove the tin and pour enough batter into each hole so that it comes two-thirds of the way up the sides. Carefully place the tin back in the oven and cook the puddings for about 20 mins until they are puffed up and brown.
