Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin in the oven to heat.
2
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until well beaten. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously.
3
Sift flour and salt into the egg mixture. Whisk vigorously until batter is completely smooth with no lumps. Let batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
4
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from oven. Add 1 teaspoon of beef drippings or oil to each cup—it should sizzle.
5
Quickly pour batter evenly into the hot cups, filling each about 1/3 full.
6
Immediately return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until puddings are golden brown, well-risen, and crispy. Do not open oven door during cooking.
7
Serve immediately while hot and puffy, as they will deflate quickly once removed from oven.
