Line up 3 identical glasses. Add eggs to the first glass. Add milk to the second glass; it should come to the height of the eggs in the first glass.

Season the batter with salt and pepper.

Remove hot oiled tin from the oven. Pour batter into the cups and return tin immediately to the oven.

Bake puddings in the preheated oven until well-risen, 4 to 5 minutes.
