Food is our common ground, a universal experience 
This is one of those dishes every one of you would have heard of. Well, as I mentioned earlier, it is a timeless favorite. One of the many things the British are famous for, Yorkshire Pudding is a dish that was earlier considered as peasant’s staple diet. However, nowadays it has become an integral part of the Sunday Roast in England.
Yorkshire Pudding is a dish that is made from a batter and is usually served with gravy and roast beef. The batter is prepared from eggs, flour, milk, butter and seasoning.
The history of this dish dates back to the early 1700’s when numerous recipes for a dish called Dripping Pudding got published in numerous magazines for women. Back then, the Yorkshire Puddings were bigger and flatter than the ones we see today. This was because the people used to make this dish in the ranges and not in the fan assisted electronic ovens that are in use contemporarily. Nowadays, people make their Yorkshire Puddings in the batches that are used to make small muffins. These puddings are called Mini Yorkshire Puddings.
