Why You Should Make Yorkshire Pudding To Serve With Your Christmas Dinner

It seems to be a matter of great debate; minds accomplished with glorious recipes have contemplated and ruminated over this serious but delicious question. It seems to come as an issue between the traditional and taste over which there isn’t any real argument. The tasteful answer it seems is that you should make Yorkshire Pudding with your Christmas dinner to round off your perfect festive feast. In fact, if you have never done it yet, then your Christmases have probably all been completely lacking without the perfect pudding that was the result of years of Yorkshire research. Whether your potato is voluptuously solid or a velvety mashed, whether your gravy is moisturisingly thin or supportingly thick, whatever your condiments and contents, the Yorkshire Pudding will definitely give it that crispy edge before you pull your crackers.

There is a contingency of chefs who think that Yorkshire Puddings are strictly for beef dishes. Admittedly when it comes to that tasty crunch the Yorkshire Pudding does enhance the meat and gravy to an almost perfectly beefy roast but this is a serious handicap of thinking. How could you restrict the Yorkshire Pudding to a single meat dish? My grandmother made one dish with sweet Yorkshire Puddings containing Apple Sauce that set off the pork dish to perfection. We even used to sneak in before the places were set and these sweet puddings were swiftly set upon before they had chance of being served. Even if you say the glorious Yorkshire Pudding be restricted to all roast dinners you do your taste buds an injustice, think of adding a little jam to them. Look around for masters of these culinary arts and you will find some beautiful and downright tasty ways these puddings are used. There is a Yorkshire pudding recipe for all kinds of meals, but often the standard pudding is used throughout, it is really how you mix the tastes that give them their value in the dish.

So back to the question, why should you make Yorkshire Pudding to serve with your Christmas dinner, the answer is that all your meat and vegetables will look incomplete, possibly indecently naked, without it. It would be totally unimaginable not to have a Yorkshire pudding or two dressing your Christmas dish. To some traditionalists the Yorkshire pudding has always been used on all roast dishes like the Christmas dinner, whether it is Turkey or Goose.
