That's the thing though, Sunday roast isn't all that unique to British people. We do it in France, I'm sure many other European countries too. Though I do love pies; and bangers n mash; and fish n chips, don't get me wrong. I just feel that mentioning sunday roast like it's uniquely British is odd, even if there are British versions after all.
I live alone so I can't really do a proper roast (wouldn't be able to use all the leftovers before they go off. Plus it's loads of work for 1 person) but I've been eyeing up the giant yorkshires you get in tescos. The ones the size of the plate I think it would be incredible
Haha no, Yorkshire pudding is uniquely british for sure. I'll get crucified for saying this, but I don't find them that great in all honesty. I prefer roast potatoes.
When I first moved out for uni, and realised I was a person who could make whatever choices I want, the first Sunday I opted to just make some Yorkshire p
uddings and roast potatoes and a bit of beef gravy and to this day it was probably one of my favourite sunday dinner I ever made ha.
Super easy:
4 eggs blended
2cups of milk
2 cups of flour
1 tsp of salt
Blend smooth
Pour into 8x8 square pan, 8 1/4" round pan, or muffin tins. Heat in the oven and then coat in butter before pouring batter in (pops out easier that way)
Bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
They say preheat the fat and pan in the oven, this is an understatement, it needs to be, to use the technical term, bastard hot, a shimmer over the melted fat hot. Also, lard or vegetable derived equivalent rather than butter for the fat to cook it in. You'll know uou got it hot enough because the batter will sizzle as it goes in.
Also close the oven door gently and avoid opening it again until they're done to avoid collapse.
Another thing you can do is put a little bit of oil in each muffin slot then pre-heat the oil in the oven then add your pudding batter, makes them extra tasty.
I would use oil rather than butter as it can take a higher heat without burning. And a good Yorkshire pudding needs to be cooked in a very hot pre -heated tray.

Nothing beats a homemade Sunday roast. I’m heading to my mum’s on Sunday and am excited for the roast chicken dinner that’ll be waiting for me.
