Ingredients
7/8 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup Milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
Beef drippings or melted butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°
- The ingredients must be at room temperature when mixed or they will not puff.
- Sift into a bowl the flour and salt
- Make a well in the center, into which pour milk.
- Stir in the milk.
- Beat until fluffy: 2 eggs
- Beat them into the batter.
- Add water
- Beat the batter well until large bubbles rise to the surface. (You may permit this to stand covered and refrigerated for 1 hour and then beat it again.)
- Have ready a hot oven-proof dish about 9 x 12, or hot muffin tins containing about 1/4 inch hot beef drippings or melted butter.
- Pour in the batter. It should he about 5/8 inch high.
- Bake the pudding for about 20 minutes.
