The story of Yorkshire pudding begins in the north of England, where it has been a staple dish for centuries. Traditionally made with wheat flour, milk, and eggs, Yorkshire pudding is a savory pancake that is typically served with roast beef and gravy. But what if you can't eat gluten? Or what if you're just looking for a healthier alternative? That's where this almond-flour version comes in.

Why It Works
Almond flour is a great substitute for wheat flour in this recipe because it is gluten-free and has a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
Coconut milk adds richness and creaminess to the pudding, without making it heavy.
The eggs help to bind the ingredients together and give the pudding its structure.
Salt and pepper add flavor to the pudding.
Olive oil helps to brown the pudding and give it a crispy exterior.
Baking the pudding in the oven helps to cook it through and give it a fluffy interior.
