Why Is Yorkshire Pudding Called Pudding?
Despite its name, the Yorkshire pudding is not actually a dessert pudding. It is a savory side dish made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk or water and traditionally served with roast beef and gravy. The name “pudding” likely refers to the fact that the dish was traditionally cooked and served in a pudding basin or dish. Additionally, in the United Kingdom, the term “pudding” can refer to any type of sweet or savory dish that is cooked using a mixture of ingredients.
