November 9th : YORKSHIRE PUDDING
Whisk up four eggs, then add three spoonfuls of salt, mix gradually eight tablespoonfuls of fine flour with a pint and a half of new milk, add the eggs, &c.; put a tin dish under your joint; let it become quite hot, and well covered with the fat of the meat; two hours before dinner, pour the batter into the tin, turn the pudding every half hour, so as to have both sides well browned; be careful to brush away immediately any coal or cinders that may fall out, or the appearance of the pudding will be destroyed.
