British roast beef wouldn’t be complete without Yorkshire pudding, which is like a cross between a popover and a soufflé and not at all like a pudding.  It’s made with a batter of eggs, milk and flour, baked in beef drippings until puffy, crisp, and golden  brown.  It may be prepared in a shallow baking dish, muffin tins or other small containers, or in the same pan as the roast.  This specialty takes its name from England’s northern county of Yorkshire.
