If you've never made Yorkshire pudding before I strongly suggest you
make one on it's own in advance... of course dinner tomorrow makes for
a tight time frame... but you had three months to practice. duh

Yorkshire pudding requires a very short oven time so I see no reason
you can't prep some in advance adn then use the oven after removing
the roast.



YORKSHIRE PUDDING WITH BACON AND SAGE

Chunks of bacon give this English classic newfound appeal.

6 ounces bacon slices (about 7 slices), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (about) butter, melted

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, divided
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs

Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 450?F. Saut? bacon in
large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels
to drain. Transfer drippings to glass measuring cup. If needed, add
enough melted butter to measure 1/4 cup total. Pour drippings into
13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Place dish in hot oven to heat
drippings 10 minutes.

Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons sage, and salt in medium bowl to blend.
Whisk milk and eggs to blend in large bowl; add flour mixture and
whisk until batter is smooth. Whisk in 2/3 of bacon. Remove hot baking
dish from oven. Using oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands, tilt
dish to distribute drippings evenly. Pour batter into pan. Bake 15
minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350?F and continue to bake until
golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes longer (do not open oven
door while baking).

Remove pudding from oven. Crumble remaining bacon over pudding,
sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sage, and serve.

Makes 8 servings.
