Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup water, room temperature
1/2 cup beef drippings or 1/2 cup use melted butter
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
Directions:
Mix the flour and salt together until well blended.
Make a well in the middle of the flour; add in milk and whisk until smooth.
Add in eggs and beat until blended.
Add in the water and continue beating until the mixture is light and frothy.
Set the mixture aside for about 1 hour (or you may cover and refrigerate overnight, if the batter has been refrigerated then it must come down to room temperature before using).
When your roast beef is ready to come out of the oven, prepare to use the prepared batter.
Set oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour 1/2 cup roast beef drippings (or melted butter) into a 12 x 9-inch baking pan.
Place the pan in the oven until the drippings in the pan sizzle (the drippings or butter MUST be sizzling!).
Pour the prepared batter over the hot drippings and bake for 30 minutes (or until the sides have risen and are golden brown).
Slice into 8 equal pieces and serve immediately.
Delicious!
