Cost: 4
Equipment
- 12-hole muffin tin
- Whisk or fork
Ingredients
- 140 g plain flour 1 cup
- 4 large eggs
- 200 ml milk ¾ cup
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or beef drippings
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a bowl. Add flour, milk, and salt.
- Whisk until smooth (no lumps!). It should look like thin pancake batter.
- Let it rest on the counter for 30 minutes. Patience is key!
- Heat the Oven:
- Preheat to 220°C (425°F).
- Pour ½ tsp oil into each muffin hole. Place the tin in the oven for 5–7 minutes until the oil is smoking hot.
- Bake:
- Carefully pour the batter into the hot tin (fill each hole halfway).
- Bake for 15–20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN—this lets steam escape, and your puddings might deflate!
Notes
For fluffier puddings, use equal weights of eggs, flour, and milk instead of measuring by volume.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the batter for a savory twist.
Experiment with a pinch of nutmeg for a warming flavor.
Serve with a drizzle of gravy or try a sweet version with jam and powdered sugar.
Always preheat the tin and fat to ensure the puddings rise properly.
