Yorkshire Pudding

Makes 16

Yorkshire pudding is a classic accompaniment to roast beef. The secret is to let the muffin pan get very hot with the drippings in the oven before you add the batter.

1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, room temperature
1 1/4 cups milk, room temperature
Pan drippings from roast.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add flour mixture, and whisk until combined. Cover with plastic; chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

When the roast has finished cooking, raise oven temperature to 425°. With a baster, remove 1/4 cup of pan drippings from roasting pan to a small bowl. Place 2 teaspoons of drippings in each muffin tin and place in oven for 4 minutes until the pan is hot.
