Ingredients
4 large eggs
240 ml whole milk
120 g all-purpose flour
0.5 tsp fine sea salt
2.5 tbsp beef drippings, vegetable oil, or lard (for the muffin tin)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Add about 1/2 tsp of oil, lard, or beef drippings into each cup of a 12-cup metal muffin tin. Place it in the oven to heat until the oil is smoking hot.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the milk and salt, and whisk again. Gradually add in the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
3. Transfer the batter into a jug or pitcher for easy pouring. Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Quickly pour the rested batter into the cups, filling each about halfway.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven door. The puddings should be puffed, golden, and crisp.
6. Remove from oven and serve immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs and milk for best rise and texture.
Never open the oven door while baking—the sudden drop in heat causes deflation.
For added flavor, try using beef drippings and experiment with fresh herbs in the batter.
