Is This New York Times Recipe For A Fluffy Pancake Basically Just A Yorkshire Pudding,

Ah, Yorkshire puddings. They are the real heroes of the Sunday roast - who can resist one doused in gravy, That’s very much the opinion of basically anyone in the UK. Inexplicably, other countries aren’t quite as familiar with the glory of a Yorkshire pud - which is why this article from the New York Times has really confused a lot of Brits.

A “large, fluffy pancake” sounds quite familiar, doesn’t it, That's a Yorkshire pudding, mate. It's a YORKSHIRE PUDDING, don't even think of calling it anything else, especially in Yorkshire. That's a Yorkshire pudding. The recipe is older than America. Once people got over the initial confusion and clocked that the Times was actually talking about a Yorkshire pud, then came the outrage.

Why on earth was the paper suggesting you could serve it for dessert, sprinkled with icing sugar, This is not a dessert! This is a thing of beauty that should be filled with beef and vegetables. Or sausage and mash. It is a Yorkshire pudding. You've put icing sugar on your Yorkshire mate, must've run out a gravy.

As so easily happens, Twitter quickly whipped itself into a frenzy - but is the New York Times really suggesting we start eating our Yorkshire puds for both main and dessert, In short: No. While the picture may look like the classic English dish - and the method of making it is similar - this is actually a recipe for a Dutch Baby.

This is an American breakfast-meets-dessert that is essentially a large pancake - or a Yorkshire pud with sugar - cooked and served in a skillet. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there… but especially mine 😌💖 This morning we celebrated with a big Dutch Baby covered in berries, Nutella, and whipped cream. NOM. What do you guys have planned for the day,

🤗 . . . Dutch baby is a big crepe-y pancake you make in the oven and it’s SO EASY. And honestly we prefer this over regular pancakes anyway 😉 You can search for it on the blog! Nigella Lawson describes how in the US “they are brought out to you at the table with great pomp: Great pancakes puffed up and golden, still in the cast-iron skillets they were cooked in”.

Classic Yorkshire puds are made with flour, eggs and milk, and are baked in muffin tins. The New York Times’ recipe does exactly the same, except with the addition of sugar and nutmeg to the batter (Nigella adds vanilla for an extra fancy touch). Instead of being baked in individual portions, Dutch Babies tend to be massive.

It’s rarer than this beef that I double-post in a day, but this was too good not to share. Perfectly pink roast beef with glossy gravy, fail-safe @bbcgoodfood yorkies, steamed veg and the crispiest roasties. James has just proclaimed this the best roast we’ve ever made. It’s hard to know where to even go from here. 🤷🏻♀️ . . . The sugar makes all the difference when it comes to how you serve them. A Dutch Baby will be served with classic pancake toppings - think maple syrup, fruit, lemon and sugar. Well, bring on the gravy.

George Washington Carver is well known for his development of 100s of products from the peanut grown in the American South. Sweet potatoes were the basis for dozens of additional useful inventions produced by Mr. Carver.

He made everything, from delicious food dishes to medicines to household cleaning agents from this one plant. Carver never patented any of his products, preferring to share them freely with the world. That's one difference between George Washington Carver and Bill Gates. Mr. Carver might have become a multi-billionaire in the 21st Century, or he might have chosen to help end world hunger.
