Holiday Feast: The Dreaded Pudding

One new entry in this year's feast will be a Yorkshire Pudding. I did a "dry run" a few weeks ago using a recipe that Vincent Price had written (a friend sent me a photocopy). Alas, I used butter (low smoke point) as the fat, there was a lot of smoke, it set off my allergy-induced asthma and I had the worst attack that I've had in a couple of decades (still trying to recover).

So I'm going to do another "dry run" today. There are about a billion recipes for this dish out there, here's one.

I blame Sherlock Holmes and Jack Aubrey. If I hadn't read so many tales about either character that involved food...
