Whenever I think of my mother’s cooking, I always remember her delicious Yorkshire
puddings. Although I grew up in the United States, my mother often cooked dishes from her
home country of England. She has always been an excellent cook, and one of her best
recipes is called Yorkshire pudding, which is a traditional English pastry. It is a simple dish
made with eggs, flour, and milk. My mother’s Yorkshire puddings taste so good because
they are light, crisp, and slightly sweet. She serves them with delicious warm gravy, but I
prefer them sweet with strawberry jam. They are very special because she only serves them
on holidays. My sister and I always fight for the last one because they are so delicious. I
have had many other people’s Yorkshire puddings, but they also have a special taste that
always makes me think of her. They also make me remember my British ancestry and my
mother’s history. They help me connect to my past and to my family. Yorkshire pudding is
such a simple and common English food, but it will always be special to me because of my
mother.
