Why this ruling
Yorkshire pudding is a baked batter of flour, eggs, and milk, traditionally cooked in beef dripping beside a roast. The batter base is Halal; dripping from non-Halal beef or pork fat makes pub puddings product-specific.
Opening answer: Yorkshire pudding is Halal if verified by default—the batter is fine; dripping vs vegetable oil decides.[1]
