I had never had Yorkshire pudding before trying this recipe, but I'll definitely be having it again. These were just perfect to serve with my roast beef and mushroom gravy, as the puddings made a perfect little cup for holding the gravy. They were very easy to make, and they came out of the oven golden brown and crispy on top, soft in the middle. Thanks for posting a great recipe!
