Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup of whole milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 12-cup metal muffin pan in the oven with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in each cup (4 tablespoons total). Heat for about 10 minutes, until the oil is shimmering and very hot.
3. Carefully remove the hot muffin pan from the oven. Quickly and evenly divide the batter among the cups. The oil should sizzle as the batter hits it. Return the pan to the oven immediately.
4. Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven door. The puddings should puff up dramatically and turn a rich golden brown. Remove from oven and serve hot.
Notes
Let your batter rest at least 30 minutes to ensure maximum puff.
Only pour batter into very hot oil to achieve that dramatic rise.
Avoid opening the oven while baking—this can deflate the puddings.
