Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk whole milk works best
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup cold water
  • ¼ cup beef drippings or vegetable oil for cooking

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until smooth.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then whisk in the cold water until the mixture is light and frothy. The consistency should be similar to heavy cream.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the batter stand at room temperature for 1 hour. For even better results, you can refrigerate it overnight.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  5. Add about 1 teaspoon of beef drippings or vegetable oil to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven for 5 minutes until the oil is smoking hot.
  6. Working quickly, remove the hot tin from the oven and immediately fill each cup about ⅔ full with batter. The batter should sizzle on contact.
  7. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the puddings have risen dramatically and are golden brown. Do not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
