PALEO YORKSHIRE PUDDING

One of my father-in-laws favorite meals is prime rib and yorkshire pudding. If you have never had it, yorkshire pudding is a delicious pastry traditionally made from beef drippings, eggs and flour. The best part of it that it puffs up light and fluffy, with some crispier areas around the edges. It's REALLY good, and this recipe is about as close as I can get to the real thing!
Yorkshire pudding can be made in a baking dish or in a muffin tin if you want individual puddings. If using a muffin tin make sure to reduce the baking time to about 15 minutes and pour a small amount of beef drippings into each tin before you pour in your batter. If you aren't making a roast and don't have beef drippings on hand, I have had success mixing two parts bacon fat to one part beef or chicken broth to create the equivalent.

Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)

2. Add the arrowroot powder and the sea salt to the mixture and whisk to combine completely
3. Place a 9x9 baking dish in the oven on the middle rack and preheat oven to 400F. You will want the pan to be hot when you add the remaining drippings and batter.
