Yorkshire Pudding

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

6 large eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS

- Sift flour and salt together. Place in bowl; make a small depression and place eggs in the center. Slowly whisk eggs into flour mixture until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk.
- Gradually whisk in remaining milk. Cover with plastic; chill in the refrigerator
for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- When roast is finished, set oven at 425 degrees. When pan has been deglazed, pour 1/4 cup reserved pan drippings into roasting pan. Heat pan and drippings until very hot,
for about 5 minutes. Remove batter from refrigerator, and stir or whisk well; quickly pour into hot pan. Cook until crisp and golden, for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

3 oz hard margarine
1/4 pint of milk
