Macy's #RecipeShare Contest, Your Holiday #Recipe Could win $1,000!

I absolutely love this time of the year. The colder weather and winter holidays are only part of the reason, the main reason is the cooking. I spend a large part of the colder months baking and cooking. There is something comforting and relaxing to me about making food from scratch for loved ones. Even if the holidays are stressing my out completely seeing the finished dinner on the table brings me a sense of pride and accomplishment that is hard to surpass. I also love sharing holiday recipes and dishes with friends and family. Over the years I have written down my favorite recipes in my recipe book, which I still write out by hand. In order for a recipe to make into my cherished book it has to be something special.

Not to be left out, here is my favorite holiday recipe, Yorkshire Pudding.

• 2 Eggs
• Salt (the amount I use varies from a teaspoon to a teaspoon and a half depending on how salty the animal fat I'm using is)
• 2 tablespoons Beef Fat (can also use bacon fat, goose fat etc) amount for 13 x 9
• 1 1/2 cups Flour
• Milk (see directions)

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Beat eggs and salt with a fork until combined. Gradually add flour and combine. Slowly add milk a little at a time until the batter is smooth and resembles crepe batter. Let batter stand an hour. This recipe can either be prepared in a 13 x9 inch pan or muffin cups, I prefer the muffin cups. Put a small amount of beef fat in each muffin cup and put in the pre-heated oven until fat has melted. Pour batter onto hot fat in muffin tins/pan and bake 20 minutes.Enjoy!


Tell me about any yummy recipes that you enter, I'm always wanting new dishes to try! Good luck!
