Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • 12-hole muffin tin
  • Sifter

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 200 ml whole milk or oat milk for dairy-free
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil or beef dripping for authentic flavor

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set it to 220°C (425°F). Put a 12-hole muffin tin in the oven with a little oil in each hole.
  • Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until frothy. Sift the flour and add salt, gradually mixing until smooth. Rest the batter for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil: When the oven is fully preheated, remove the hot tin, open and pour the rested batter evenly into the holes.
  • Bake: Set the tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puddings are puffed and brown. Do not open the oven door whilst baking!
  • Serve: Immediately as an accompaniment to roast beef, gravy and vegetables.

Notes

Resting the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest ensures the puddings rise beautifully in the oven.
