My guide to making a British roast dinner

[inevitability]

The Roast

• A good cut of meat (I’m partial to prime rib, but a simple cut of roast beef can be fantastic)
• 1 yellow onion (sweet if you can get it)
• 5-6 sprigs of Thyme
• 1 table spoon of Coleman’s mustard powder
• 1 table spoon of flour

I never knew what a "Yorkshire Pudding" was until just now.

Okay, now I'm hungry and missing London. :P

Two thumbs up from me. I love Yorkshire puddings SO MUCH.

Nom nom nom. I loved when we made parsnips.

I'll be making those shortly. > : )

The recipe for roast sounds great - i've never had the trick of a dry roast down, though both Chris and i prefer it to pot roast.

I only had yorkshire puddings once, and they were not at all good. How much oil do you put in the tins to get hot?

If you follow that recipe to the letter you should be just fine for the roast. :)

As for the yorkies... you want little muffin tins and about 1/4" of oil. Too much and they'll be really oily, too little and they'll burn/stick.

The key to yorkies is 1) dont open the oven and 2) creep around the house for the 15 minutes they're cooking or they'll collapse.
