This article is more than 6 years oldMorrisons supermarket is releasing a yorkshire pudding pizza to mark National Yorkshire Pudding Day – so here’s further proof that anything bread can do, batter can do better
Expect ructions from Naples to Northallerton this weekend as Bradford-based supermarket chain Morrisons releases a yorkshire pudding pizza to mark that ancient British holiday, National Yorkshire Pudding Day, which falls on Sunday. Stuffed with cheese, tomato and pepperoni, it actually (whisper it) looks quite nice, in a unfashionably doughy deep-pan pizza kind of a way – just like the Sunday roast wrap that has people queuing round the block in York, or the Manchester kebab that outraged Mancunians last summer with its use of foreign pudding rather than good, honest bap or barmcake. There’s even a street food stall in York that serves a vanilla pudding filled with custard creams, Yorkshire (and – eek! – Lancashire) tea ice-cream and a chocolate sauce. Basically, anything bread can do, batter can do better – and if you don’t believe me, try this lot.
Toad to go Fill your yorkshire with mustard mash and peas, lightly crushed to stop them rolling out, then add a couple of sausages and a splash of onion gravy. Fold over and devour with appropriate care for your shirt front.
The full Yorkshire Spread with red or brown sauce, as desired – and beans if you really must – then add sausage, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms and tomato. Top with a fried egg just before folding to release the yolky lubrication.
Veggie special Not every yorkshire pudding billows – if yours looks more like a flatbread, then celebrate failure by stuffing it with salad, falafel and pickled chillis. Drizzle with tahini and chilli sauce and pretend you are somewhere sunnier than Skipton.
The Bradford burrito Swap a naan bread for a yorkshire, and spread with warm, thick dal, then top with basmati rice and seekh kebab. Add mint raita and a pickle of your choice, then roll up like a burrito.
Pudding for pudding Traditionally, leftover yorkshire pud would be recycled for afters, spread with jam or sugar. If you are making one specially, add a little mixed spice to the batter and serve it hot, topped with chopped baked apples, soft brown sugar and, for that authentic Yorkshire touch, some crumbled wensleydale cheese.
