Instructions

Step by step

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
Quickly pour the batter into the hot fat — it should hiss loudly.
4
Bake 20- without opening the door until risen and deep golden.
5
Serve immediately with gravy and the Sunday roast.
