Cooking Thursday ~ Nana B's Yorkshire Puddings

I think I may have mentioned before how much my mother disliked cooking. When we were little, she always provided my brother and I with hot , nutritious food, but she always saw it as a complete chore, and her meals weren't very varied. Dad, on the other hand, was an excellent cook.

Having said that though, she made a wonderful Sunday Roast, and her Christmas dinners were fabulous. Part of her secret, was the excellent recipe she used for making Yorkshire Pudding, the traditional accompaniment for to Roast beef. In the UK it would be unheard of to have a Sunday Dinner without them. They were so good, we would have them with any meat.

This recipe has been handed down from mother to daughter for a few generations, and I must admit, they always turn out amazing
