After making the cordial and black pudding in Ireland, we made a decision to cook a traditional food in every country that we visit to add to our Global Field Trip Recipe book. Since we are in England, we thought we’d make scones and Yorkshire pudding. I made the pudding and I found out that surprisingly, Yorkshire pudding is more like a savoury side, not at all like a dessert pudding! The recipe and steps are very simple and I had a lot of fun making them.
Ingredients (makes 12 muffin sized puddings)
3 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 cup (all-purpose) flour
2 tablespoons of butter
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C
2) In a medium bowl, beat eggs with milk.
3) Stir in the flour until there are little or no lumps. Set aside.
4) Divide the butter evenly into the twelve cups of a muffin tin, about 1/2 a teaspoon per cup. Put the tin in the oven for 2-5 minutes to melt the butter.
5) Take out the tin and distribute the batter evenly in the buttery cups.
6) Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, then turn down the heat to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
If you want an authentic Yorkshire pudding experience, serve them with roast beef and gravy. They are also nice with chicken or any other type of meat. They can even be eaten alone as a little snack!

That looks really good. Can we come over for dinner too! We also found there was a lot of food in the UK that were named strangely and not what we expected. You always have to ask over there to avoid big surprises 🙂

Hello Harriet!
While in the UK, we have learned a lot of the “lingo” here, like chips are french fries, rubbish is garbage, so it’s easier to understand what people are talking about. I have also found that they say the time differently. For example, 7:30 is half seven, which I found really neat! Even in an English country, we’re still learning new languages.
One of the pubs I go to serves them with the meat stuffed inside them……if you work with a much hotter over, and/or fat that won’t burn in the pan, you heat them so fast they rise really quick and are basically hollow in the middle…..in any case they are pretty good aren’t they? This cookbook sounds like a neat idea…..I bet you could publish it as a pdf available online as some sort of globe-trotting kid’s cookbook – you guys are doing the cooking and taking pictures, it is definitely kid friendly….
Hi Nicole!
Before we left Canada, we went to a pub, and Zoe and I ordered a sort of meat pie that was like what you described. It was really good! We are going to create a cookbook with foods from around the world for people to enjoy. We’ll let you know when it’s being published!
Looks absolutely delicious! I will catch the next flight for dinner; so, set another place setting.
Hello Aunt Mary!
We have a place ready for you. Just tell us when you’ll be coming to join us!
Hi, Mikhaila, great recipe, and the finished product looks yummy. We have to have a Globalfiedtrip Feast next year. Love Oma
Hi Oma!
The finished product was really delicious, especially with the chicken gravy! A GlobalFieldTrip Feast sounds like a great idea, but we might be eating all day, with all the recipes we will be collecting!
Looks Yummy! Last time I tried a Yorkshire Pudding recipe, didn’t rise at all 🙁
Your post has encouraged me – got to try this again because you have made it look so easy. Wish me luck!
Hi Connie!
Good luck on making the puddings! Maybe the pictures will help. Maybe you could show this recipe to Michelle and they can be made in Home Ec class.
Its wonderful that you are making all these traditional dishes.
Of course a roast beef dinner isn’t complete without horseradish sauce, yorkshire pudding and gravy. I buy the frozen yorkshire puddings in Loblaws and miss out on all the “fun”…
Hi Chris!
Maybe now you can make the puddings, because they’re really easy. I haven’t tried the ones at Loblaws before, partly because I didn’t even know that they sold Yorkshire Puddings! It is a lot of fun making traditional foods and we’re trying to make as many dishes as possible.
Hi Mikhaila,
They look mouth watering! Thank you for the recipe. I will be making them shortly!
Love, Baba
Hello Baba!
The puddings are really good, and I really enjoyed them a lot. When we come back, maybe we can make them for dinner for you and Papou. Let’s make a deal: we’ll bring the puddings if you make the prime rib! Thank you for your great comments, we really enjoy reading them.
