Yorkshire pudding is a traditional English dish that originated in Yorkshire. The dish consists of a mixture of flour, eggs, and milk, and is traditionally cooked with roast beef drippings to create a puffy, golden-brown crust. This recipe elevates the traditional puff by adding sharp cheddar cheese and fresh chives. It's an excellent recipe for a dinner party or a quick weeknight meal. The cheese and chives make these puddings more flavorful and perfect to serve as appetizers or a side dish to a roast beef meal.

2.	Add 1 tablespoon of roast beef fat or unsalted butter into each of the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.

4.	Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until smooth.

6.	Once the fat is hot, remove the muffin tin from the oven.
