Yorkshire Pudding Facts
27/07/2010
A special feature for Yorkshire Day on Sunday August 1st… Yorkshire Pudding facts!
The first known Yorkshire pudding recipe was published in 1737 in The Whole Duty Of A Woman and was called a ‘dripping pudding’.
Yorkshire pudding can be cooked in a flat tray and is called a ‘bed’ of Yorkshire pudding; otherwise it can be served as individual bun-sized puddings.
Traditionally, when meat was cooked on a spit, the Yorkshire pudding batter was put underneath and fat and meat juice dripped down into it.
For those families that couldn’t afford crockery, Yorkshire puds acted as a plate and a meal in one!
Research by the Royal Society of Chemistry concluded that for a Yorkshire pudding to be judged successful it had to be no less than four inches (10cm) in height. It came up with the perfect pudding formula of carbohydrate + H2O + protein + NaCl + lipids (i.e flour, water, egg, milk and fat)!
