tsk... why quibble -- ofcourse, now I think of it, it's the same recipe as
yorkshire pudd... but, can we not call that "dough" ;o)) Here's a version
of Yorkshire Pudding that some of you might want to try - it's more like a
popover, but a giant one.
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
pinch of nutmeg
3 Tbl. butter
1 Tbl confectioner's sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
12 inch (10 will be ok too) frying pan with heatproof handle (many handles
are only good up to 375 degrees, but are fine if you wrap them tightly in
aluminum foil)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
In a mixing bowl beat the eggs with a fork. Add milk; beat in. Add nutmeg.
Add flour and beat with a fork until well mixed, but don't overbeat, small
lumps ok.
Melt the butter in the pan until really HOT. When it has stopped foaming,
but just before it starts to color, pour in the pancake batter. Put pan in
oven, uncovered and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. It puffs up like crazy -
quite impressive!
Sprinkle with powder sugar and return to oven for a minute or two. Remove
and squeeze lemon juice over the pancake.
Serve plain or with: fresh strawberries, jams, compotes, whipped cream, ice
cream. Serves 2 nicely; 3? - you'll all want more; 4, oh oh... make
another one!!
This was in the NY Times about 25 yrs ago and was called "David Eyre's
pancake"

Hi Karen, your recipe sounds delicious but it is not Yorkshire pudding. What
is wrong with it is that there is sugar in it. I make my puddings with a
batter poured into a tin which contains a little hot melted dripping. Nothing
sweet in there at all. Mary

Hi Mary -- exactly. That's why I said that recipe was more like a popover!
(A giant popover!) I've made Yorkshire pudding; have used drippings and fat
from a roast beef. I don't think I'd like it with sugar in it!
