How many of you will be having 'Prime Rib' for your Christmas Dinner? I know I am. Funny Story: Last year after my Husband came home with Christmas Dinner ingredients as well as a 'prime rib' roast, he left groceries in bags on our hallway floor coming in from garage. I was busy and didn't realize he was home. My little yorkie, Azi decided she wanted 'prime rib' early. She actually dragged the roast out of the bag and onto the hallway floor. A lot was eaten and we had to throw the roast away. Azi was put on probiotics and I took some stress meds. LOL This year we ARE having a 'prime rib'!

How To Make yorkshire pudding

  • 1
    Yorkshire pudding isn't really a pudding as we think of puddings, and it isn't sweet. It was eaten during the Middle Ages, usually with mutton, and was always made with water rather than milk. As the mutton cooked on a spit, a thin batter of eggs, flour and water was placed in a pan underneath and cooked as it caught the drippings. It was eaten as the first course of the meal to take the edge off one's hunger before sharing what was probably a meager portion of the meat. Today, Yorkshire Pudding has evolved into an elegant accompaniment to a Christmas roast. It is still very simple but very satisfying. This will fill a 10 x 14-inch roasting pan. If your roast is larger or your pan bigger, you can certainly double the recipe.

    When you begin roasting your meat, take the ingredients for the pudding out of the refrigerator so they'll be at room temperature when they're ready to be put together about 1 1/2 hours before you want to serve it. Because you bake this in the roasting pan, you'll want to time your roast so it will be done and can be kept someplace warm while the pudding bakes. Blend the dry ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.

    In a smaller bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and lemon colored. Then beat the liquid into the dry ingredients until it is smooth and bubbly. Let this mixture stand at room temperature for about an hour. (You can get away with not doing this, but if you can arrange the time, the result has a better texture and flavor.)

    When the roast is done, remove it from the pan. Turn the oven up to 400°F and place the pan back in the oven to heat up until the drippings are just beginning to smoke.
  • 5
    Pour in the batter and bake for 25 minutes. If the pudding begins to brown too much, turn the temperature down to 350°F to finish baking.
  • 6
    The pudding will be puffed and browned on the top and crusty and moist on the bottom when done. It should be served immediately alongside your roast.
