National Yorkshire Pudding Day is the day of the year that we celebrate the British Sunday roast staple and in Yorkshire we take our savoury pudding very seriously. Take a trip to Malton and you will find the original recipe created in 1747 by Hannah Glasse.
In 2019, Visit Malton commissioned a street mural of the original recipe in honour of the beloved Yorkshire Pudding and its 18th century creator, Hannah Glasse. Recipes for the perfect Yorkshire pudding differ and are often handed down generations in each family. Do you add two eggs or three? More milk than flour or an equal measure? Everyone has their own favourite recipe.
Yorkshire's Food Capital
Malton is regarded as Yorkshire’s Food Capital and the perfect place to visit for any food-loving guests. Especially when it hosts the Malton Food Lover’s Festival which is the annual food event that attracts thousands of visitors. The small market town is proud of it’s artisan producers, independent shops and the pubs and cafes that are abundant in the market square. You can even snap up a Yorkshire Pudding beer from local Malton Brewery.
Taking account of its focus on food, Malton is the perfect place for this giant tribute to the foodstuff that has impacted on the county’s food heritage.
