This Yorkshire pudding recipe is proof that you can have everything, even when it's just you. I don't remember exactly how or when I came up with this; I was probably inspired by Nigella Lawson again (before whom I had never heard of Yorkshire pudding here in the States). But I find great comfort in knowing that, as long as you have one egg, a little milk, and some flour, you're just a greased ramekin away from a single serving of eggy Yorkshire pud goodness. Come to think of it, I'm not sure that I've ever had Yorkshire pudding outside of my own kitchenette in New York, stooped over a battered Nigella cookbook, whisk in hand, squinting through my reading glasses to make out the insensible metric measurements. <br /> <br />My version takes the original recipe (egg, milk, flour) and "turduckens" it into another British delicacy: Welsh rarebit. We Americans have no idea what any of this means (why is it called "pudding"?), but it's good with meats and gravies, or as a savory dinner for one—especially with a green salad, or just a glass of wine and a good book.
