Carnivore Yorkshire Pudding

Description:

Carnivore Yorkshire Pudding is a low-carb, high-protein adaptation of the traditional British side dish. Instead of using flour, this recipe relies on eggs and beef drippings to create a light and airy pudding with a rich, savory flavor. Perfect for those following a carnivore or keto diet.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup beef drippings (or melted beef tallow)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: a little extra beef drippings for greasing the muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding pan

Equipment:

  • Muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding pan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl

Instructions:

Preparation (10 minutes):

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding pan in the oven while it heats up, so the pan gets hot.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, beef drippings, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Cooking the Yorkshire Pudding (12-15 minutes):

  1. Heat the Fat:
    • Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot muffin tin or Yorkshire pudding pan and add a small amount of beef drippings to each compartment (about 1-2 teaspoons). Return the pan to the oven for 2-3 minutes to heat the drippings.
  2. Pour the Batter:
    • Remove the pan from the oven and quickly pour the batter into the hot compartments, filling each about halfway.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the Yorkshire puddings have puffed up and are golden brown with a crispy exterior.

Notes:

Tips:

  • Make Ahead: The batter can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a day. Just whisk again before using.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a slice of roast beef or use it to mop up meat juices for a fully carnivore-friendly meal.
