Yorkshire Pudding

My recipe for Yorkshire Pudding (updated). What I like about this recipe is that you use exactly equal volume measurements of eggs, flour, and milk: Ingredients: Eggs (straight from the fridge is fine) All-purpose flour Milk Salt (1/4 tsp per egg) Vegetable oil (1/2 tsp per muffin cup) Instructions: Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Prepare the Muffin Pan: Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to each cup of a muffin pan. Use three cups for each egg in your recipe. Place the pan in the oven to heat the oil. Heat for at least 5 minutes, or until the oil is hot -- hot enough so that it bubbles when you put the batter in the cups. Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix eggs, flour, and milk in equal quantities to create a batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter. For each egg used, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Example: If using 2 eggs, you'll have enough batter for 6 Yorkshire puddings. Fill the Muffin Cups: Carefully remove the hot muffin pan from

Alfredo's Noodles

This recipe is usually done as ' Fettuccine Alfredo ', but I prefer linguine when I have a choice. In the picture here, it is done with De Cecco spaghetti. This recipe makes four appetizer/first course sized portions. To make a meal of it, add Caesar Salad and garlic bread. Ingredients 1/2 lb noodles (best with linguine) 1/4 lb salted butter 1 cup heavy (35%) cream 2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper Directions Fill a 2 quart bowl with very hot water and set aside Cook noodles according to directions (see notes) While noodles are cooking, melt the butter and warm the cream Empty bowl, drain the noodles and place in the warm bowl.
