Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs (or 3 small to medium eggs)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (or a blend of whole wheat and AP flour)
  • ¾ tsp flaky kosher salt (or ½ tsp fine salt)
  • ¼ cup butter, roast drippings, or shmaltz

Instructions
 

  • Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 ℉. Put the heavy iron pan or casserole dish in the oven to preheat.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt to make a smooth, thin batter. Set aside and let the batter rest at least 10 and up to 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to a day in the fridge.
  • Melt the butter or fat in the preheated pan, and leave it until it is hot and bubbly (but don't let it burn).
  • Pour the pudding batter over the fat in the skillet or baking dish. The butter will pool up and around the batter- this is fine. You can swirl it in or spread it gently with a spatula but do not mix- it will bake into the batter leaving lovely crispy edges and a golden crust.
  • Bake immediately. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 ℉ after the first five minutes. Keep the oven door closed while the pudding is baking to trap the steam and you will get a better puff on your pudding.
  • Bake until the pudding batter is golden brown on top and puffed around the edges the center is set, about 25-30 minutes. Baking time will vary based on your oven and pan size and type.
  • Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately, hot from the oven. Pudding will deflate as it cools, like a souffle.
