Recipe information - The Traditional Sunday Roast with Yorkshire Puddings
Cooking time
2.5 hours
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg of beef, pork, lamb, or chicken
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 parsnips
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- Beef dripping
- 140g of plain flour
- 4 eggs
- 200ml of milk
Instructions
- To start, preheat your oven to 220°C. While the oven is heating up, prep your vegetables by peeling and chopping the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, onion, and garlic. Toss them in a roasting pan with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and pop them in the oven.
- Next, it's time to prepare your meat. Whether you prefer beef, pork, lamb, or chicken, season it generously with salt and pepper and rub it with some olive oil. Place it in a roasting pan and add it to the oven along with the vegetables. Roast everything for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is cooked to your liking.
- While the meat and vegetables are roasting away, it's time to make the star of the show - Yorkshire puddings! In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- To make the Yorkshire puddings, preheat your oven to 220°C and place a small amount of beef dripping in each cup of a muffin tin. Pop the tin in the oven for a few minutes until the dripping is sizzling hot. Carefully pour the batter into the cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are puffed up and golden brown.
Conclusion
Once everything is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Carve up the meat, dish out the vegetables, and top it all off with those delicious Yorkshire puddings. Pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and enjoy a truly classic British feast. Cheers!
