YORKSHIRE PUDDING

from Joy of Cooking – says 6 servings

Suzanne's notes in my recipe notebook double the recipe.  This served 4 adults adequately, not generously.

Have ingredients at room temp.

Put 7/8 c flour and 1/2 tsp. salt, in a bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in 1/2 c milk. Stir it in. Beat 2 eggs until fluffy, then beat them into the batter. Add 1/2 c water. Beat the batter well until large bubbles rise to the survice. Can cover and put into frig for 1 hour and then beat again (I don't do this). Heat your dish (~9x12”) and melt maybe 4 Tbsp. Butter in it, enough for 1/4 “ pool. Pour in the batter. Bake at 400 for 20 min, reduce heat to 350 & bake 10 – 15 min more.

Christmas eve 2018:   did not reduce to 350, since I was roasting the lamb at the same time.
