Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire Pudding is a classic British side made from eggs, plain flour, milk and lard, baked until golden and impressively puffed. The Thermomix TM7 blends the batter to a silky, lump-free consistency in seconds, ensuring those signature tall rises and crisp edges every single time you serve a Sunday roast.
About this recipe
Yorkshire Pudding with the Thermomix TM7 is the recipe every roast dinner has been waiting for. This beloved British side, built from eggs, plain flour, milk and hot lard, rises into tall, golden crowns with crisp edges and a gloriously soft centre, and searching for Yorkshire pudding recipes or Thermomix TM7 batter ideas has never been more rewarding. The all-in-one kitchen machine takes the guesswork out of the process: the integrated scale weighs your flour and milk directly into the bowl, while high-speed mixing turns the batter silky smooth in moments, eliminating the lumps that deflate puddings in a conventional oven preparation. Air incorporated during whisking gives that dramatic puff when the batter meets sizzling lard. Whether you are planning a quick weeknight sausage dinner, a full Sunday roast with gravy, or a festive Christmas spread, these puddings deliver bakery-quality results and turn a handful of pantry staples into the highlight of the meal.
Preparation tips
- Rest the batter in the refrigerator before baking so the flour fully hydrates; a rested Yorkshire pudding batter made with eggs and milk rises noticeably higher and develops a more tender interior.
- Make sure the lard in the tin is properly sizzling before pouring in the batter, and avoid opening the oven door during baking, otherwise your Yorkshire puddings will collapse and lose their impressive puff.
- For a lighter result, swap the lard for sunflower or rapeseed oil, which also makes this recipe suitable for vegetarians while keeping the crisp edges kids love.
Recipe variations
- Mini Yorkshire puddings: pour the same egg, flour and milk batter into a muffin tin to create bite-sized puddings, ideal for parties or as a canapé with a spoonful of horseradish cream and roast beef.
- Toad in the hole: nestle sausages into the hot lard before adding the batter and bake everything together for a hearty, family-friendly variation that turns this side into a complete weeknight dinner.

- Whipping air into the eggs with the Thermomix gives the batter extra lift, resulting in Yorkshire puddings with impressively tall, golden crowns
