Method

  • STEP 1
    Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
  • STEP 2
    Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and eggs and beat with a fork to combine.
  • STEP 3
    Mix the milk and water in a jug, then gradually add to the flour and egg mixture, stirring constantly, to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • STEP 4
    Leave the batter to stand for ten minutes.(Or for best results leave over nigh in a fridge)
  • STEP 5
    Pour two tablespoons of oil or beef/goose fat into each of the cups of a muffin tray. Place the muffin tray into the hot oven and leave for 5-10 minutes, until the fat is smoking hot.(Do not overfill with oil)
  • STEP 6
    Carefully remove the muffin tray from the oven. Pour approximately 30ml/1fl oz of batter into each muffin cup, then carefully return to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes, until risen and golden-brown. Resist the urge to open the oven and check on the puddings for at least ten minutes, as this will hamper their progress.
