Most of us think of mashed potatoes as the perfect partner for roast beef and gravy. And while that’s a tried-and-tested combination, you’ll be surprised that other pairings work just as well. Yorkshire Pudding, for example, is a staple in England and completes a proper British roast. Similar to a popover, this savory pastry is made with a simple batter that uses equal amounts of egg, milk, and flour. Once baked, it becomes light and crispy. It’s best enjoyed with a meat course, complete with a generous amount of gravy. Make Yorkshire Pudding as a special treat on the weekend or for an evening of entertaining friends. I receive so many compliments every time I serve it to guests! Kids and adults enjoy dipping the golden bites in the rich gravy, making the entrée even heartier. Try it; I promise it’ll remind you of great holiday dinners—even in July!
