You might want to indicate what unit of temperature it is. Not everyone lives in a place where Fahrenheit is the norm (I can tell it's Fahrenheit, but not everyone can). You should probably get into the habit of writing temperature in both degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius, especially for recipes, and definitely get into the habit of indicating which unit you mean.

looks like a "Yorkshire Pudding" to me. ( a proper Yorkshire pudding should be filled with meaty goodness of course, not the silly little things most people think of as Yorkshire puddings). I guess it's just one of those things that goes by different names in different parts of the world. Just goes to show how versatile pancake batter can be. Toad in the hole anyone?

You're absolutely right- they're all "pop-overs". Gravy for Yorkies, sweets for Dutch Babies.

Milk, flour, eggs and salt; bake in a very hot oven in hot fat. Yummy goodness!

To quote Ogden Nash:

Let's call Yorkshire pudding
A fortunate blunder:
It's a sort of popover
That turned and popped under.

We had these at a bed and breakfast, but instead of lemon and sugar, they put in ham sauteed with asparagus pieces and cheese - fantastic!! I'm excited to try this recipe!
Thank you!
