Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil or beef drippings
Optional: pinch of black pepper
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add flour and salt, whisking to prevent lumps. Slowly add milk and whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a muffin tin in the oven and add 1 teaspoon oil or drippings to each cup. Heat until the oil is smoking hot (about 10 minutes).
3. Quickly remove the hot tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling halfway. The batter should sizzle.
4. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the door.
5. Remove when puffed and golden. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
Always preheat the muffin tin and oil until smoking hot to guarantee a good rise.
Let the batter rest at least 30 minutes for maximum puff and structure.
Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent collapse.
