Yorkshire puddings originated in Yorkshire, England, as a way to make use of the dripping fat that fell from roasting meat. Originally called 'dripping pudding', it was a cheap and filling way to supplement meals, especially for poorer families.

Yorkshire puddings offer a savory, slightly eggy flavor with a crisp exterior and a soft, yielding interior. The taste is enhanced by the rendered fat used in cooking, often beef dripping, which imparts a rich, meaty depth.
The flavor profile is relatively neutral, allowing it to pair well with a variety of sauces and gravies. The primary ingredients are flour, eggs, and milk (or water), which create a batter that rises significantly when cooked in very hot fat. The cooked pudding develops a slightly browned, crisp exterior while remaining soft and almost custardy within. The rendering fat, traditionally beef dripping, adds a savory and rich taste which is crucial to a truly authentic Yorkshire pudding.

Hot Fat is Key
The fat in the pan must be extremely hot before adding the batter. This creates the initial burst of steam that causes the pudding to rise dramatically.
Rest the Batter
Allowing the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter and more tender pudding.
Don't Open the Oven Door
Avoid opening the oven door during cooking, as this can cause the puddings to collapse. Resist the temptation to peek!
Use Dripping
Beef dripping is the traditional fat to use. If you don't have any, a high smoke point oil like vegetable oil or sunflower oil is a decent substitute, but beef dripping imparts a far superior flavour.
