  2. Preheat the oven to 230C. Put 1 teaspoon of beef drippings into each off the cavities in the muffin tin. and heat in the oven until smoking hot.
  3. Working quickly, fill each muffin cavity 3/4 full of batter and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until well risen and firm. Serve immediately - or cool and freeze, then reheat in a hot oven next time you cook a roast.
