Yorkshire Pudding

“Don’t be surprised when these end up full of air. That’s just how they are suppose to be.” – Calla Ferre

“These are a fun and different sort of roll to serve with a meal. Traditionally made with beef drippings and topped with gravy, you can also use butter and top with powdered sugar and serve with pie filling or fruit for dessert. In the absence of beef drippings, bacon grease also makes a tasty pudding.” – April Ferre
