Four eggs (200ml/7fl oz)

200ml milk

sunflower oil, for cooking

In a bowl, combine 140g of plain flour with four eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Slowly incorporate 200ml of milk, continuing to whisk until the batter is free of lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the batter to a jug, then take the hot tins out of the oven. Carefully pour the batter into each hole, ensuring even distribution.

Return the tins to the oven and let them bake undisturbed for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings have risen and turned golden brown.

Enjoy right away, or let them cool and freeze for up to one month.
