Ingredients. - Two pints of milk, four eggs, eight heaped tablespoonfuls of flour, salt, dripping.

Method. - Put the flour and two good pinches of salt into a bowl, make a hole in the center, break in the eggs, stir, gradually mixing in the flour from the sides, and add milk by degrees until a thick smooth batter is formed. Now beat well for ten minutes, then add the remainder of the milk, cover, and let it stand for at least one hour. When ready to use, cover the bottom of a pudding-tin with a thin layer of dripping taken from the meat tin, and while the tin and dripping are getting thoroughly hot in the oven, give the batter another good beating. Bake the pudding for ten minutes in a hot oven to partially cook the bottom, or, if more convenient, place the hottest shelf from the oven on the meat stand, and at once put the pudding in front of the fire, and cook it until set and well browned. "Yorkshire" pudding is always cooked in front of the fire; when baked in the oven, the term "batter pudding" is applied to it by the people in the county whence it derives its name.
