Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup beef drippings or vegetable oil
Optional: freshly cracked black pepper or chopped rosemary
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk flour and salt. In a separate jug, beat milk and eggs together.
2. Gradually add wet mixture to dry, whisking until smooth. Rest the batter at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Add 1 tsp of oil or drippings to each well of a muffin tin and heat in oven until smoking hot.
4. Remove tin from oven and quickly pour in batter, filling each well halfway to two-thirds.
5. Bake without opening the oven door for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
6. Serve immediately while crisp, with gravy or your choice of toppings.
Notes
Always let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes for the best rise.
Ensure the oil is very hot—almost smoking—before adding the batter.
Never open the oven during baking to prevent collapse.
