1 1/2 c. sifted flour
4 lg. eggs
2 c. milk
Salt & pepper to taste
Vegetable oil

Pour 1/4 inch oil in pan. Preheat in oven until oil is almost smoking. Meanwhile, mix first 3 ingredients with spoon and (or) wire whisk until smooth. Season to taste. Pour batter into heated oil. (Oil will come up the sides and seal the pudding.) Bake at 450 degrees in 9 x 9 x 3 inch pan for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy brown. Carefully pour off excess oil. Serve immediately.

NOTE: This is not a "pudding" as we know it. It is an accompaniment to a meal, especially roast beef and is served with gravy.
