This recipe comes from my wonderful Aunt Marjorie. She made everyone in the family a cookbook with all the family recipes. She even painted this beautiful picture of onions (see below), which I wish I could frame for my kitchen. Anyway, I encourage all of you to start copying all of your family favorite recipes. There is nothing worse than trying to find your great grandmothers recipe for peach pie – though I’m sure your great grandmother never used a recipe!

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons bacon or roast beef drippings

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 cup Gruyère cheese, finely grated

Directions

1Preheat oven to 450˚ F.

2Beat eggs in a medium bowl until very thick and lemon colored.  Add mustard.  Gradually add milk, then the drippings, blending thoroughly.  Add flour and dry mustard; beat until smooth.  Fold in half the cheese.  Pour into a well greased 1-quart baking dish, and top with the remaining cheese.  Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve immediately.

You can use vegetable oil. Here’s a vegetarian recipe – https://www.food.com/recipe/jamie-olivers-yorkshire-puddings-397360

Yum! I know it wouldn’t be real Yorkshire pudding, but what would you sub for the drippings for a vegetarian? 🙂

I had never heard of Cheesy Yorkshire pudding, it totally works. I added bacon fat, not bacon. I’m sure you have some bacon fat lying around!

Even though I am a Yorkshire girl, this is a new version for me and when you think about it, what could improve a Yorkshire Pudding – well cheese, but have you ever added some bacon to this recipe??
Don’t you love these old recipes where they make a filling meal out of a few kitchen staples. In the old days the Yorkshire was served before the meal to fill everyone up, my Grandfather apparently used to say “those who eats most pudding gets most meat”.
