Eggless Yorkshire Pudding With Onion Gravy and Minty Peas

Eggless Yorkshire Pudding is an English side dish. Although I made Eggless Yorkshire Pudding, Yorkshire pudding is traditionally made from batter consisting of eggs, flour, and milk or water. The dish is sometimes served with beef and gravy and is a staple of the traditional British Sunday roast. The Yorkshire pudding is a staple of the British Sunday lunch and in some cases is eaten as a separate course prior to the main meat dish. This was the traditional method of eating the pudding and is still common in parts of Yorkshire today. Because the rich gravy from the roast meat drippings was used up with the first course, the main meat and vegetable course was often served with a parsley or minty green peas with onion gravy.

It is often claimed that the purpose of the dish was to provide a cheap way to fill the diners, thus stretching a lesser amount of the more expensive ingredients as the Yorkshire pudding was traditionally served first. In poorer households, the pudding was often served as the only course. A simple, energy-rich meal was made with flour, eggs and milk. This was traditionally eaten with a gravy or sauce, to moisten the pudding.

When wheat flour began to come into common use for making cakes and puddings, cooks in the north of England devised a means of making use of the fat that dropped into the dripping pan to cook a batter pudding while the meat roasted. In 1737, a recipe for ‘a dripping pudding’ (Later named The Yorkshire Pudding) was published in The Whole Duty of a Woman. (Source Wiki)
