Serious Eats did a “myths of Yorkshire pudding” article, and since we were going to do prime rib for Christmas, I felt like I obviously needed to make puddings to go with it. Kenji did not let me down! These were excellent. Definitely the way to go from now on. Because I was worried about having enough drippings, I actually used bacon fat and it worked out well.
We went with these as a side for our Easter dinner, and we really liked them. They were very flaky and had lots of flavor. I added a handful of finely sliced green onions and about 1/2 a teaspoon of garlic powder. I think next time I will double that, and also cut the salt in half – our only complaint was that they were a bit on the salty side. The recipe below is as-written. I did do an egg wash on the top of them, and though it was optional in the recipe I think it shouldn’t be skipped. This is another Ina Garten recipe, and a definite go-to for biscuits.
Last minute edition to our Christmas dinner, but a fun one! They came out well and were a nice compliment to the roast beef.
Easy, light, fluffy and a little sweet. Great with salads or a summer dinner.
Om nom nom!
