Ingredients
Method
- Beat eggs in a jug. Add milk and water. Whisk to combine. Sift in flour and salt. Whisk vigorously until completely smooth. Rest at least 30 minutes — overnight in the fridge is better.
- Preheat oven to 230°C / 210°C fan / Gas 8. Add 1 tsp oil to each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin. Heat in oven for 10–15 minutes until smoking.
- Working quickly, pour batter into each hole — about halfway full. Return to oven immediately.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until well risen, deep golden, and crisp. Do not open the oven door at any point.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use equal volumes of eggs, milk and water combined, and flour — not equal weights.
Half milk, half water gives a lighter, crispier pudding than all milk.
Rest the batter — 30 minutes minimum, overnight in the fridge is best.
The fat must be smoking when the batter goes in — not just hot.
Work fast pouring the batter — every second out of the oven the fat is cooling.
Never open the oven door during baking.
Freeze baked puddings for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 220°C oven for 8–10 minutes.
