3/4 cup unflavored whey protein
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup unflavored almond milk
1/2 cup pan drippings from roast prime rib of beef
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the whey and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until very stiff. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the yolks and almond milk until light and foamy.
Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the whites just until incorporated. Then add in the yolk mixture. Pour the drippings into a 9-inch pie pan, square baking dish OR I used large muffin tins (for individual servings). Put the pan in oven and get the drippings smoking hot. Carefully take the pan out of the oven and pour in the batter. Put the pan back in oven and cook until puffed and dry, about 20 minutes (or 10 minutes for muffin tin). Makes 8 servings.

These *look* good in the photo, but I do wonder about taste. I've tried various baked things, using whey protein, over the last dozen years, and have not made a thing yet that just was not plain nasty and had an awful texture. Though I'm having good results with coconut flour and my new fave - peanut flour.
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on what brand of whey protein too.
ReplyDeleteIn this recipe, you could decrease the whey to 1/2 the amount and it would still come out great! By whipping the whites, the whey basically keeps them fluffy so the yolks don't make them fall.
Happy Baking!
I was happy to find this recipe! We have the custom of having a rib roast & yorkshire pudding with our kids & grandkids every Christmas, based on a family tradtition from my family. And based on a family tradition from my husband's family, we (grandma & grandpa) always pay for the roast! I have been passing on the Yorkshire for several years, but this year, I will have my own version. Maybe my usually dieting daughter & daughter-in-law will try it!
ReplyDeleteI love Yorkshire pudding and was trying to figure out how to make it. I'm a happy girl.
