If you do your fair day’s work, you are certain to get your fair day’s wage – in praise or pudding, whichever happens to suit your taste.

Hi there,

One of my favorite authors is Darlene Foster, http://www.darlenefoster.wordpress.com. Her delightful series of Amanda books are a must read. Amanda has all the spunk and sense of adventure that my fictional heroines had when I was growing up.

Darlene is sharing with us today another one of her delightful stories and delicious recipes.

Darlene Foster Yorkshire Pudding

I am German-Canadian, my husband is British, and we live in Spain. So our Christmas dinners can be quite eclectic. Yorkshire puddings were not served in my home growing up, but they are a favorite of my Yorkshire-born hubby. So I always include them in my Christmas dinner menu. They are easy but can be tricky; sometimes they turn out great, light and fluffy, and other times not so much. I recall one Christmas in Calgary when I was hosting Christmas dinner for 14, my family, my girlfriend and her daughter. Things were going well until that frantic last few minutes when the turkey was ready to be carved, the potatoes needed to be mashed, the gravy stirred, and the Yorkshire puddings cooked. I ended up with too many dishes needing the oven, all at different temperatures. To make a long story short, I burnt the Yorkshire puddings. I was so upset hubby found me outside, in tears, throwing them away. They looked like discarded hockey pucks lying in the snow. 

Everyone loved the meal, and no one even noticed the missing item, until my girlfriend said, “This is all so delicious, but where are your amazing Yorkshire puddings?” Hubby shook his head and mouthed, Don’t ask. I replied, “They’re outside in the snow, help yourself!” 

It took me a long time to find a fail-proof recipe, but this one has never let me down. I found it in one of mom’s cookbooks I inherited called “Hilda Town & Country Ladies Club 50th Anniversary Cookbook”. These small-town cookbooks are wonderful as everyone who contributes always provides their best tried and true recipe. 

Never Fail Yorkshire Pudding by Lorraine Mauch

Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C)

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

3 unbeaten eggs (room temperature)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

Grease muffin tins and heat in the oven (the bottom of each should have a thin layer of fat or oil)

Put all ingredients except eggs in a mixing bowl

Beat until mixture is smooth

Add 1 egg at a time and whisk after each egg until well mixed

Pour into hot muffin tins filling 1/2 full

Bake for 15 minutes

Then turn the oven down to 350F (180C) and bake for another 20 – 30 minutes (be careful not to burn them)

Serve hot out of the oven with gravy

Note: Do not open the oven during baking. 

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays and Happy Eating!

Well, on Darlene’s recommendation, I may even try making Yorkshire Pudding. I must admit that anything that requires rising in the oven is very intimidating to me, but I trust Darlene. Thank you, Darlene, for providing this wonderful story and recipe.

I'm also a wife, mother, grandmother, sister. cousin, aunt, and friend, no particular order on any given day. I've been a writer all my life, newspaper reporter and columnist, radio news writer, and magazine contributor, and poet and short-story writer as the spirit moves. Now, I turn my attention to my cookbook, the blog, and a cooking column "Memorable Meals," which runs in our county newspaper. Besides my family, I love dogs, cats, good coffee, chocolate, and my never-dwindling pile of books I intend to read. Our family ran a small Vermont Inn for 18 years, with our focus on local, organic ingredients. I cook from scratch, and try not to use anything that has ingredients I cannot pronounce! After many years of daily serving up local delicacies, cooking classes, and catering, we are now only open for special events, and the odd cooking class. We also host musicians and artists, having helped produce a musical festival and other musical events for nearly 20 years. Many incredible artists have found a place at our table. Wonderful experiences, we will treasure always. My family and friends are my practice subjects. With a family that includes nut, peanut, tree fruit, and vegetable allergies, gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, vegetarians, vegans, heart conscious, and a couple of picky eaters, there has to be a few quick tricks in the book to keep everyone fed and happy! Personally, I do not eat red meat or most full-fat dairy (usually) for health reasons, making the occasional exception at Thanksgiving and Christmas or our anniversary if the duck is locally raised. I do eat fish and seafood, so I try to come up with alternatives and substitutions when available. I serve local organic eggs and cheeses to my family who can tolerate dairy (My husband recently had a heart attack, and I need to watch my own cholesterol so I am careful, but have been known to let a little piece of really good cheese accidentally fall on my plate!). I believe strongly that eating in a way that is good for our planet is also good for our bodies, and I try to educated myself about our food sources! I cook by the seasons and draw on inspiration from the strong and talented women in my family who came before me, as well as the youth in the family who look at the world with fresh eyes. Food links us all, whether sharing a meal, cooking it together, or writing about it for others to enjoy. I love taking an old recipe and giving it a modern spin, especially if I can make it a littler healthier and use foods that are kinder to the Earth and to our bodies. I believe strongly in sustainable, delicious eating of whole foods, and the wonderful flavors we have at our fingertips! And finally, I love conversing with all the talented cooks and chefs out there who dot the globe! It's a wonderful, world full of culinary pen pals, and I cherish them all! XXXOOO Dorothy

        Oh, they are easy! Little popovers, the kids call them, and they love popovers. The two tricks are have the tin really hot and don’t overfill them. Learned this, interestingly enough, from an elderly British lady named Hilda! Her favorite thing to cook was a prime roast, first four ribs only, and Yorkshire puddings cooked in the fat while the meat rested.

  4. This was a fun story! I’m glad to know that the challenge of pulling together every detail of an elaborate meal is universal. As a bread maker, I am sorry to admit that I never have warm dinner rolls on the holiday table either. Timing the delicate things is so tough to do when everything else demands the oven. Anyway, those Yorkshire puddings deserve to be the star of the show! Darlene could build her meal around them and it would be just lovely. 🙂

  5. Hi Bernadette, this looks like a good recipe. I had a complete disasters with Yorkshire puddings once. I put to much oil in the pans and it boiled over in the gas oven. Black smoke billowed out of the oven and I nearly had a heart attack as I thought it would catch fire.

      Thanks, Carol. Yorkshire puddings are traditionally served with roast beef or pork but they go very nice with turkey too.

      Yes, Liz, they are very similar. I associate popovers with a sweet filling like jam whereas Yorkshire puddings are usually filled with something savoury like gravy or minced beef.

New recipes gleaned from those who I have met on my travels or are just passing through and stopped for a while. I hope you enjoy them. I love shopping at the local markets, finding fresh, natural ingredients, new strange fruits and vegetable ones I have never seen or cooked with. I am generally the only European person and attract much attention and I love to try what I am offered and when I smile and say Aroy or Saab as it is here in the north I am met with much smiling. Some of my recipes may not be in line with traditional ingredients and methods of cooking but are recipes I know and have become to love and maybe if you dare to try you will too. You will always get more than just a recipe from me as I love to research and find out what other properties the ingredients I use contain to improve our health and wellbeing. This is now taking me into other areas like deforestation, chemicals and preservatives in the food chain. Exciting for me hence the title of my blog, Retired No One Told Me!

    We have all been in Diane’s position. I have more than one holiday disaster in my history, I can assure you. I think of Yorkshire pudding as made with meat drippings in a big pan, which I have never done though would love to try, and what you’ve described, the individual ones, as popovers, which I make several times a year as a special treat. In US cookbooks, that is typically what I have read. But there are so many regional variables in how these iconic foods are made and described!

I also love owls and try to keep fit following fitness YouTube videos. Do feel free to connect with me. Here are: My website/blog: http://OlgaNM.wordpress.com
