Yorkshire Pudding


Category: bread
Price: 49p
Ingredients: water, wheat flour, egg albumin, whole egg, vegetable oil, skimmed milk powder, salt

I don't know why this is called a pudding. Here, pudding usually refers to a steamed pudding, like sticky toffee pudding or spotted dick. Pudding can even refer to dessert as a whole. (As in, "What's for pudding tonight?" "Tonight pudding is apple pie.") And it isn't anything like American pudding either (which I found out that they sell here as "angel delight"). Yorkshire pudding is a traditional accompaniment to roast beef. It can also be used as a pastry shell for pot pies and things. The ones I bought are the "mini" size, but they have big ones you could fill with all kinds of stuff to make individual portion meal things. My husband and I filled some yorkshire puddings with stuffing for Christmas.

Yorkshire puddings are basically a bread type product. You can use them in place of dinner rolls. They are cup-shaped and baked in a very hot oven. I could whip them up myself, but the frozen ones are really easy. 5 minutes in the oven, and it only cost 49p. The formula for making them is a lot like popovers, but they are a different shape.

They taste a lot like popovers too, but a little bit greasier. This could be seen as a bad thing, but I kind of like it. Because of the grease content, the outside crust gets a bit crispier than popovers. So it is a crispy golden-brown outside around a soft and almost creamy-tasting inside. They are very oily and bad for you. But they do taste really good.
