Ingredients

  • 100g/3½oz plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon shredded suet
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 200ml/7fl oz milk
  • 50ml/2fl oz water
  • oil or beef

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
  • Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, suet (if using) and eggs and beat with a fork to combine.
  • Mix the milk and water in a jug, then gradually add to the flour and egg mixture, stirring constantly, to create a smooth and creamy batter. Leave the batter to stand for ten minutes.
  • Pour two tablespoons of oil or beef fat into each of the cups of a muffin tray. Place the muffin tray into the hot oven and leave for 5–10 minutes, until the fat is smoking hot.
  • Carefully remove the muffin tray from the oven. Pour approximately 30ml/1fl oz of batter into each muffin cup, then carefully return to the oven to bake for 10–15 minutes, until risen and golden-brown. Resist the urge to open the oven and check on the puddings for at least ten minutes, as this will hamper their progress.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with the roast of your choice.
