Instructions

Step by step

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, eggs, milk and salt until smooth. Rest the batter (or overnight in the fridge for the best lift).

    Heat the oven to 230°C fan (450°F). Add a tablespoon of dripping to each of 8 muffin moulds and heat for until smoking.

  3. 3

    Quickly pour the batter into the hot fat — it should hiss loudly.

  4. 4

    Bake 20- without opening the door until risen and deep golden.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with gravy and the Sunday roast.
