This is made in early spring, usually Easter, when the new dandelions are sweet and crisp. It is from my grandma, Callie Brosius, who was Pennsylvania Dutch and a great cook. This is usually served with boiled potatoes with ham at Easter.

Classic Yorkshire Pudding
Traditionally served with roast beef, Yorkshire pudding is actually not a pudding at all! Rather, it's a puffed pastry baked with meat drippings. People in the U.S. tend to think popovers and Yorkshire pudding are the same, but they're not. Popovers are hard and very airy, while Yorkshire pudding is softer and doesn't rise as high as a popover.
