National Yorkshire Pudding Day

Celebrate National Yorkshire Pudding Day! Yorkshire pudding is an iconic British dish similar to a popover. The first recipes for the dish appeared in the 1700s, but the exact origin is unknown.
Yorkshire Pudding is made by combining flour, eggs, salt, milk, and pan drippings from prime rib or roast beef. It is most often served with roast beef or chicken, and, of course, lots of gravy.
Often considered the national dish of England, Yorkshire Pudding is still common today. Celebrate National Yorkshire Pudding Day and make a delicious homemade batch to enjoy with your family!
