Yorkshire Pudding is a traditional English dish similar to a popover, not to be confused with a dessert. The dish is usually served with fried chicken and gravy and is usually served with roast meat and gravy.

Cooks in the north of England devised a way to use the fat that fell into the dripping pans.. The meat was roasted in the oven, so they made a batter pudding instead. One such cook, "A Dripping Pudding" in The Whole Duty of a Woman, published a recipe in 1737.

Hannah Glasse wrote similar instructions in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy in 1747. She named the dish 'Yorkshire Pudding,' after she named it.' Glasse was lauded for re-inventing and renaming the original version of "A Dripping Pudding"'s "A Dripping Pudding."
