Ohhhh..how I love roast beef and yorkshire pudding! Someone was telling me either online or in real life..don't remember who..that they put the beef drippings into muffin tins and pour the batter in and make their's that way. Sounds like a nice neat tidy yummy to make it to me, but I haven't tried it yet. One of my sis-in-laws..she's deceased now..was British and she used to make it. Delicious!

Dad was easy to please with foods and liked pretty much everything, but his favorite meal was Mom's roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, tossed salad. Mom would make it every Sunday except for Thanksgiving when she made turkey and Christmas when she made ham. We never got tired of roast beef on Sunday and came home for dinner until my then husband and I moved too far way to do so. She'd roast it until it was so tender you could cut it with a fork. It's still one of my favorite meals too. After we ate, we'd put a slice of bread on our plate and cover it with gravy and eat that too.


Dad also loved fresh garden tomatoes and grew them in season. He'd pick one off the vine, wipe it on his shirt

My sis-in-law used to remove the beef and pour the batter into the drippings in the pan. Delicious flavor!


If I were to make it today though, I'd separate the fats from the juices and discard the fats, then I'd use whole wheat flour for the batter. I should try that..if I'd only remember to do so..slim chance of that..LOL!!
