Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 teaspoons lard oil from roast meat, or vegetable oil
  • ½ cup 74 grams all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup 118 ml whole milk, gently warmed

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, whisking briefly. Gradually incorporate the warmed milk while continuing to whisk until a smooth batter forms without any lumps. Whisk in the eggs until fully blended, then let the mixture rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 1 teaspoon of oil into each compartment of a muffin tray and transfer the tray to the oven, allowing the oil to heat for about 10 minutes until it begins to smoke.
  • Carefully slide the oven rack outward and pour the rested batter into each muffin cup, filling each about one-third full. Gently return the tray to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes without opening the door, ensuring the puddings rise and turn a rich golden brown.

Notes

Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the puddings from collapsing. Serve immediately for best texture.
