Traditional Yorkshire Pudding
As legend has it, Yorkshire puddings were cooked in a pan of fat at the bottom of a hearth, underneath a large piece of roasting beef. The smoky heat from the fire and the drippings from the meat must've made for quite a delicious pastry. Though limited by modern ovens, in this recipe for traditional Yorkshire pudding, you can still come close to the original by using real rendered beef fat, without which you're just eating a popover.
