British Yorkshire Pudding Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of February, honoring the traditional baked pudding that holds a significant place in British cuisine. Originally created to conserve fat from roasting meats, Yorkshire pudding is made from a batter of eggs, flour, and milk, and is typically served with the Sunday roast. In poorer households, it was often served before the meat course to help fill appetites when meat was scarce. The dish is cherished for its crispy exterior and soft interior, making it a beloved staple in the UK and beyond. Yorkshire pudding has been recognized in various ways, including its inclusion in a 2012 poll where it ranked among the top ten things people love about Britain. The holiday reflects the enduring popularity and cultural significance of this iconic dish.
