Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp kosher salt
½ cup vegetable oil or beef drippings (approx.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Whisk eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Let batter rest at least 30 minutes.
- Place oil or beef drippings into each well of a muffin tin (or a large baking dish) and heat in oven until sizzling hot.
- Carefully pour batter evenly into hot oil, filling each well about halfway.
- Bake without opening oven door for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve immediately while crisp and hot.
Notes
Beef drippings give a traditional, savory flavor, but vegetable oil also works.
Do not open the oven door while baking or puddings may deflate.
Batter can be made ahead and chilled overnight for better rise.
Great served with roast beef, chicken, or sausages.
Can be frozen up to 1 month and reheated directly from frozen.
