AGAIN THE YORKSHIRE PUDDING
Directions for Its Preparation in Still
Another Way.

Yorkshire pudding is hallowed
dish in many English families. 1t is
often an accompaniment of roast
beef, and in response to request for
a recipe the following is reported from
a century-old note left by cook
Take six tablespoonful of flour,
with three eggs, a teaspuOnful of salt
and pint of milk. so as to make n
middlins stiff batter, little sitter
than you would for pancakes; beat
it up well and take care it is not
lumpy; put dish under the meat and
let the drippinss drop into it till it is
quite hot and well creased then pour
in the batter. When the upper sur
face is brown and set, turn it, that
both sides may be brown alike. If
you wish it to cut firm and the pud-
ding an inch thick. 1t will take two
hours at a good fire. The true York
shire pudding is about half an inch
thick when done. but 1t is the fashion
in London to make them full twice
that thickness.
