The North Yorkshire Chronicles, Part Three: Steam, Shore, Yorkshire Pudding and More
I have had two straight weeks of catering and if I told you everything in my kitchen was dirty, it wouldn’t be an overstatement. Thank goodness for my husband John who has been up since 8.30 this morning clearing up!
It’s one of those days when all I want is comfort food. No more of the Tuscan Beef Stew we enjoyed last night at the Tongham Village Hall Italian Wine Tasting dinner John and I produced. No more of the brandade de morue I whipped up in my trusty Thermomix, either. All I really want is Yorkshire Pudding!
Since returning just two weeks ago from our second fantastic holiday in North Yorkshire, I still wake up to the dawn chorus wondering which one it is – Surrey or the Esk Valley; Tongham or Aislaby near Whitby. When I look out our bedroom window I still expect to see the North Yorkshire Moors Railway chugging down the Esk Valley. I long for the seaside and the charming architecture and statues of Whitby.
As I am several hundred miles away today I shall have to be satisfied with Yorkshire pudding, so fast and easy to make in Thermomix. Join me, will you?
Thermomix Yorkshire Pudding
Recipe from Fast and Easy Cooking, the 300-recipe cookbook included with every Thermomix TM31 purchased in the UK. Makes 8 individual Yorkshire Puddings or one large one.
Ingredients
2 eggs
150 g plain flour
400 g milk
salt and pepper
lard, goose or duck fat, or oil for baking tin
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 230°C/450°F/gas mark 8
- Mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper 12 to 15 seconds/Speed 6 in your Thermomix. Check the consistency: the batter should be the consistency of single cream. If it is too thick add a little more milk and mix again a few seconds.
- Place your Yorkshire pudding tin with ½ to 1 teaspoon of fat in each cup (or a large square tin with about 2 tbsp fat in it) into the hot oven until the fat is very hot and smoking, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully take the hot tin out of the oven and carefully pour in the batter. Cook individual puddings 15 to 20 minutes or one large pudding 30 to 40 minutes until brown and well risen.
- Serve immediately with lots of gravy that you can also make in your Thermomix (see page 137 of Fast and Easy Cooking).
Bon appétit !

Just made a batch of Yorkshire puddings in my Thermomix and had them savoury with roast lamb and then sweet for pudding. I added a tsp of Agave nectar to the batter, and topped with berries before putting in the oven. Delicious!
I am making miniature Yorkshire puddings with rare roast beef and horseradish and mustard creme friache for canapés o be served at a Christmas dinner tonight. Thanks for your recipe
Oops! Thanks for that, Karen! I’ve just fixed the recipe. Great to have your eagle eyes out there!
The recipe doesn’t say to mix in the milk. But once you realize and make amends it works!
