A thin batter of flour, eggs and milk, rested and poured into a muffin pan with smoking-hot oil in a very hot oven: it puffs into golden cups, crisp outside and hollow inside.
Mix the flour, eggs, milk and salt into a thin, smooth batter, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

💡Rested batter puffs more: the flour absorbs the liquid, and the bubbles from mixing settle.

Preheat the oven to 230°C (445°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3
Divide the oil among the cups of a muffin pan, a teaspoon in each cup, and heat the pan in the oven until the oil smokes.

💡The oil must be smoking before the batter goes in: contact with scorching fat puffs it up at once, and in lukewarm fat it stays flat and greasy.
4
Take out the pan and quickly pour batter into each cup.

Bake 20–25 minutes, until the puddings are puffed and golden. Don't open the oven during baking.

💡Don't open the oven halfway through: cold air makes the pudding collapse before the sides have set.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
