About this recipe
Spanish Brunch Thermomix TM7 brings the best of a leisurely Iberian morning to your own kitchen. This recipes collection favourite pairs airy lemon pancakes, whisked from plain flour, whole milk and egg, with a smoky chorizo picante and onion sauté cooked in olive oil. Searching for an all-in-one kitchen machine brunch solution pays off here: the TM7 weighs the caster sugar and flour directly into the bowl, whisks the batter to a lump-free consistency, and heats the savoury topping hands-free while you fry the pancakes. The contrast between zesty lemon, warm spices and paprika-rich chorizo makes this breakfast far more memorable than standard sweet stacks. Serve everything together on a large platter for a weekend brunch, a festive holiday morning or a relaxed family gathering. With the Thermomix TM7 handling the precise work, you can focus on garnishing, pouring coffee and enjoying the company around your table while the flavours of Spain fill the room.
Preparation tips
- Let the pancake batter rest briefly after whisking so the flour hydrates fully; this gives noticeably more tender lemon pancakes than frying straight away.
- Dice the chorizo picante fairly small so its smoky paprika oil renders quickly and coats the onion evenly, giving the topping a glossy, rich finish without extra fat.
- For a milder family version, swap half the chorizo for plain cooked ham and add a pinch of smoked paprika to keep the Spanish character without the heat.
- Fry the pancakes in sunflower oil over steady heat and wipe the pan between batches to avoid dark spots from the lemon zest caramelising.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian variation: replace the chorizo picante with diced grilled peppers, smoked paprika and fried halloumi cubes to keep the smoky, savoury Spanish character without any meat.
- Festive variation: top the lemon pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a celebratory brunch platter alongside the warm savoury components.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits

- With precise heating, the TM7 cooks the chorizo picante gently until its smoky paprika oil releases without any burning. [Precision Control]
- The TM7 whisks the egg, whole milk and flour mixture into a silky, lump-free pancake batter in seconds rather than minutes by hand. [Time Savings]
- Fresh lemon zest is grated straight into the caster sugar by the TM7, releasing aromatic oils for a brighter citrus flavour throughout the batter. [Multi-Function]
