Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup beef stock
  • 1/2 cup water, cool
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup pecorino cheese
  • 1.5 oz fontina cheese, grated, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Select a muffin pan for baking, preferably a larger one with 6-oz portions. A traditional muffin pan can also be used.
In a small pot over medium heat, cook the butter until the solids begin to brown. Remove it from the heat and add 1 tsp butter into each cup of the muffin pan. Transfer the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 5–10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the eggs, beef stock, water, milk, and pecorino cheese. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and fill each cup just past halfway with the batter. If using the fontina cheese, add a pinch on top of the poured batter.
Bake in the oven for about 15–20 minutes, until the batter has risen and is golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve.

Cook's Notes

For a more traditional Yorkshire Pudding, substitute beef fat for the browned butter.
