Ingredients

  • Scant 1 cup flour (15 tablespoons)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup lard

Method

  • In a bowl sift flour and salt together.
  • Make a well in the center and add the egg and 1/4 cup of milk and beat together, gradually incorporating the flour and adding the milk as necessary to form a smooth batter but being careful not to over-beat.
  • (Batter should be the thickness of heavy cream.)
  • Allow batter to rest for at least half an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place a teaspoon of lard in each well of a 12 cup muffin tin or into individual Yorkshire pudding tins, and heat in the oven until very hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide batter between wells and bake until risen, puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
