Traditional recipe from Great Britain, in particular from the Yorkshire region from which it takes its name, Yorkshire pudding is a simple preparation made of eggs, milk and flour that turns into a sort of soufflé with a hole in the center.
And it is precisely the hole that forms when the tin is heated with oil so that it becomes hot and smoking before adding the batter that is its main characteristic.
Be careful not to open the oven before the end of cooking.
Considered a side dish, in England they are served alongside various meat dishes or filled with gravy sauce.
