National Yorkshire Pudding Day is observed in the United States on October 13 every year. This food-related holiday celebrates Yorkshire pudding, an iconic British pastry that is a staple of the traditional British Sunday roast. Made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk or water, Yorkshire pudding is typically served as a side dish with roast meat and gravy, although it can also be enjoyed as a dessert topped with sugar, jam, or golden syrup. The dish's origins trace back to a recipe published in 1737, initially called “Dripping pudding,” with the name “Yorkshire pudding” first appearing in 1747. To celebrate, people often try their hand at making this pastry, following a simple recipe that involves beating eggs, milk, flour, and salt, and baking the batter in sizzling hot fat.
