Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) plain flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300 milliliters (10.1 fluid ounces) milk
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Cooking Fat:
- Vegetable oil or beef dripping (for greasing)
Instructions
- Blend flour and salt in a mixing bowl, then incorporate eggs and milk, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Allow the batter to relax at room temperature for 30 minutes, which helps develop a lighter texture.
- Position oven rack in the middle and heat to 220°C (425°F), simultaneously placing a muffin tin inside to become scorching hot.
- Carefully distribute oil or dripping into each muffin cavity, ensuring even coverage and returning to the oven until the fat is sizzling and almost smoking.
- Swiftly and confidently pour batter into each heated cavity, filling approximately three-quarters full to allow room for dramatic rising.
- Bake undisturbed for 20 minutes, maintaining consistent oven temperature to encourage maximum puffiness and golden-brown coloration.
- Remove immediately from oven and transfer puddings to a serving platter, presenting while they retain their crisp exterior and airy interior.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps develop gluten, creating a lighter, airier texture with more rise.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure smooth blending and consistent batter consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a blend of rice flour and cornstarch for similar crispiness.
- Avoid opening the oven during baking, as temperature drops can cause puddings to deflate and lose their signature puff.
