History Let's Talk Pudding!

[mofederal]

I love pudding in general, mostly the sugar free variety. Which is not that bad. I just don't like fudge, I like the regular chocolate variety. I know very daring and I like Jello, again the sugar free type. I have eaten some meaty type pudding, but it has been a long time ago.

It is not easy to make as you have to get your muffin pan super hot so the grease will boil.let's page member @Waterloo50 because he lives in the U.K. so he should have the best recipe for Yorks hire pudding.

This is the one that we use, they are great with the Sunday roast.
This makes 12 Yorkshire Puddings.

.225g plain flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

• 4 eggs, beaten

• 300ml milk

• beef dripping, as needed

1. Sift flour, salt and pepper into a large bowl and add the beaten eggs and half of the milk. Whisk until it resembles wallpaper paste (needs to be very smooth), then add the rest of the milk and again whisk till smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes (or this can be speeded up by placing it in the fridge for 10 minutes).
2. Put a muffin tray with 1/2 teaspoon of beef dripping in each hole in the oven at the highest possible temperature (normally 270 C) until you hear the oven click and reach temperature.
3. Remove the muffin tray and pour in your batter (about 1/2 to 3/4 way up each hole), then place back in oven and reduce temperature immediately to 230 C / Gas 7. Bake for 20 minutes.

When the Yorkshires are ready place on the dinner plates and drizzle beef gravy over them, trust me they are fantastic.

Love all kinds of pudding. Didn't have for Thanksgiving. Had Pumpkin Pie for dessert.

Love pudding of all kinds. Does custard count? Because it's my favorite. Not a fan of instant, would rather have old fashioned stove top, which my mom used to make quite often. When I was old enough to cook, then I prepared it.

Want to try and make Christmas pudding or Plum Pudding, as I believe Charles Dickens refers to in A Christmas Carol, Mrs. Cratchit's Christmas triumph!

Have always wanted to make a true Yorkshire Pudding, too; thanks for posting the recipe @Waterloo50.

Another great post, @Eleanor Rose!

If you like custard then you'd probably like custard tarts, very popular over here in the UK.

Anything custard, I would love. Any recommendations on a tried and true recipe?

To be honest I don't make the tarts because they are readily available over here but here is a recipe which I think is quite popular: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/23793/homemade-baked-egg-custard.aspx

I bumped 2 custard recipes. There are many on the forum.

Sorry so late with the recipe. I sang this morning, then did grocery, then came home to worry my closet a bit..winter stuff out..*sigh*

Grandma Joyce Tulloch's Yorkshire Pudding
Beat together the following with rotary beater, just until smooth:
2C sifted flour
1 tsp salt
2 C whole milk
5 Eggs
1 stick butter, unsalted
Prepare 9X13 pan (I use a glazed terracotta pan, but any stoneware pan would do). Liberally grease and heat pan. I melt the stick of butter. Pour the batter into hot pan and return to hot oven.

I start with 400F oven but after 10 min. Lower temp to 350F. Pudding will rise around edges and should puff up in the center also. Should be done in 40 mins. Sometimes sooner. Know your oven's Heat variations. JTV 1996.

Really the whole deal is done when the top is brown, and the sides pull away.

I have never seen a cast iron pan big enought to do this recipe in...I suppose they exist? I use the ceramic, as it seems to heat more evenly than the glass, and the "puff" is better..I do a brown gravy with mushrooms to serve over the top.

Didn't have pudding for Thanksgiving but my mother made banana pudding (with meringue on top) for our family when I was growing up. Now I make it for my 12 yo grandson.
