The most important thing re the Yorkshire pudding is that once in the oven you can't open the oven untill they are done otherwise the deflate and you get some thing as hard as a rock

[@firstnamelastname-nf6vo]

As a brit I agree

[@novaava]

...ah. So that's why mine went flat. :p

[@Jonpoo1]

Second most important thing is stupidly hot oil before you put the batter in the tray. The tray and oil cannot be too hot.

[@JadeNeoma]

@@samgrant83 its not an urban myth. A pan in front of an open fire won't cool down suddenly like an oven with the door open will. Remember that an oven only heats when it drops below the set temperature whereas an open fire continues heating no matter what. So opening an oven door will cause a sudden temperature loss which will deflate yorkshire puddings. I know this both from experience and the physics. I am also british.

[@jonathanzimmerman634]

Yeah that and his oil should have been hotter, the batter should start deep frying the second it touches the oil

To take the Yorkshire puddings to the next level I’d really recommend a specialist Yorkshire pudding tray. It’s similar to a muffin tray but the cups are far more shallow and much wider. This eliminates a lot of the stodginess that can come with using deep cups of batter as they have loads of room to rise. Plus, more Yorkshire pudding is always better.

[@witchitahable]

So some relatively important issues with the Yorkshire pudding recipe, as a Yorkie myself. The oil and oven need to be extremely hot, 220+. The oil should sizzle when you put the mix in. While cooking do not open the door. Similarly for the mix you shouldn't make it completely smooth, some small clumps of flour. It helps get the slightly craggly texture a Yorkshire pudding should have. Doing this will also make them a dark brown, rather than the brown-blonde you have. Finally there's the tin. It should be far shallower than a full muffin tin, maybe 1-2 cm deep, with slightly angled sides.

[@DumbMuscle]

Yeah, there is no way his oil was hot enough. If you're not slightly worried for your safety from the spitting oil and batter the first few times you're doing yorkshire puddings (you get used to it), it's not hot enough.

[@sarahheri7027]

do you have them in the oven beneath the meat, so the meat drips into the puddings?! that's how i learned it, but he didn't mention it...

[@BradiKal61]

ideally a pan made of thicker metal that will hold heat to counteract the drop in temperature from the batter .

[@chrisgregory3063]

English chefs tip Instead of plain salt use either a mix of yellow mustard powder and salt or spread yellow English mustard all over the beef. It makes an amazing difference to tenderising a tougher joint of meat and flavouring the resulting pan juices.

[@seanbailey8545]

Maybe it's just my part of the UK, but here beef is traditionally sliced as thin as possible for a roast.

[@conkrcstf6405]

I think it varies a lot. I never have beef in a roast, only ever chicken/turkey or sometimes gammon.

[@inconspicuoussalad7730]

In the north you're looking at pencil thickness or above but never more than 1cm

[@Slaeowulf]

You're supposed to get the oil ripping hot before pouring the batter in. That's why they're so whacky.

The eye of round is my go-to roast for large family gatherings. It can be slow-cooked ahead of time to make it tender. It tastes great with the right seasonings and it can feed a lot of people for not a ton of money. I usually pair it with a similarly-sized pork roast and season both with a coating of garlic paste and some pesto after the initial browning. We also LOVE Yorkshire Pudding! It is meat-flavored pop-overs! I concur with adding the pan fond to the gravy. I also add any juice that has come out of the meat while carving to the gravy. No sense in wasting any of that terrific flavor.

Across the pond here. While yes we use the metric system we use pints albeit different and bigger pints to your side for added confusion. edit, Babish missed a tip on the yorkshires. Pre-heating the tin and oil on the yorkshires makes it much easier to ensure proper fluffyness. Also make your gravy in teh roasting tin for full flavours!

The salt helps it retain moisture by lowering the vapor pressure of the water in the meat. The salt ions block/hold the water in place, requiring more heat for them to evaporate. It's like the mirror version of how salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.

[@mikeshea2456]

01:30 - "We're combining...all purpose flour." With what, Babish?! WITH WHAT?!?

[@JamesBrown-uv4sn]

Dry brines do a couple things. One they bring moisture out, but then the water (from the cells and between the cells) and now salt mixture ultimately gets re-absorbed into the meat seasoning it as well as trapping moisture that would otherwise evaporate. Drawing out the moisture also tenderizes the meat produce a more tender piece.

1:00 It happens because the salt damages the protein strands so when heat is applied, they tighten up less.

just bought a rib roast for xmas and was watching Mr. Alton Brown and wanted to know more about roasts and pudding. Never done Yorkshire pudding before but I think I'm gonna try this year

[@LooselyGrope]

Do it. There isn't a household in Britain that would make a roast dinner and NOT have Yorkshire puds with it. They're the best bit.

7:54 I am drooling so hard right now.

The dry brine could also be considered an abbreviated, uncontrolled dry aging. The enzymes in the muscle begin to break down the fibers, but covering it in salt inhibits the growth of any harmful bacteria which would cause sickness. That's why dry aged steak smells "funky" but not "rotten."

Can’t have a roast dinner without roast potatoes… a solid beginner effort.

When I was growing up my mom would pour the Yorkshire pud mix in the bottom of the roasting pan the last 15 (?) minutes to take full advantage of the drippings. We can't afford roasts like that, but I do like the idea of using muffin tins for them.

I live filling the yorkies with petit pois and smothered think some thick gravy.

*nods as a Brit* not bad, not bad. Yorkshire puddings left over, drizzled with golden syrup is...another level of cheeky, addictive, naughty food to eat.

Who has left over yorkshires?

[@OhSome1HasThisName]

who ever has leftover Yorkshire puddings...

[@JakeLovesSteak]

Just seeing the two roasts after cooking, it's difficult to believe that eye of round and prime rib come from the same animal. Prime rib is so far superior to anything the round could ever hope to be. The price difference is justifiable.

Christmas dinner just went to a whole other level!

Englishman here, I’ve had many Yorkshire puddings in my life (my dads from Yorkshire) and these look incredible
