Description
A sunday lunch staple. NB this is a basic batter mix that works well for pancakes and comes from the Winnie the Pooh cookbook which is still probably my most used cookbook, even if the recipes I use from it largely exist in my memory now.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 4 T flour
- 1⁄2 pt Milk
Instructions
Sift four heaped table spoons of flour into a bowl, in a well in the centre pour in a beaten egg. Cream the eggs and the flour together gradually whisking in the rest of the milk. stir in a pinch of salt. Leave to stand for an hour.
Once you take your joint out of the oven, put in a 12 hole cup cake/muffin tin and turn the heat up to 200˚C. After a few minutes soaking up the heat pour a generous amount of beef dripping (you can use butter or oil, but if you are roasting you'll have the dripping) into each hole in the tin. Return the muffin tin to the oven for a few minutes. Once the dripping is hot. divide the batter between the 12 holes in the tin. Return to the oven for half an hour to 345 minutes. Do not open the oven door.
Remove when they have risen to little golden puffs.
Serve as a side or as my mother's family always used to as a starter. Either way drench in gravy.
Notes
This makes 12 puddings but one each is just stingy, even 2 each is a little on the mean side.
