Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 pinch salt
12 teaspoons oil or beef dripping (1 tsp per muffin cup)
Instructions
1. Place a teaspoon of oil or beef dripping into each cup of a 12-cup metal muffin tin. Put the tin in the oven at 450°F (230°C) for about 10 minutes until the oil is sizzling hot.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of whole milk, 3 large eggs, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and slightly frothy. Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes.
3. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Quickly and evenly pour the batter into the hot oil-filled cups, filling each about halfway.
4. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Do not open the oven door during this time!
5. Once golden and puffed up, remove from the oven and serve hot.
Notes
Resting the batter for 15–20 minutes allows the flour to hydrate, leading to better puff and texture.
Use a metal muffin tin for maximum rise—avoid silicone or ceramic.
Never open the oven during baking! That rush of cold air can cause your puddings to deflate.
