  3. Carefully transfer the hot pans to a heat-proof surface and divide the batter evenly between the wells (filled 1/2 to 3/4 full, or about 1/4 full if using pans). Immediately return to the oven and bake until the puddings have quadrupled in volume, are deep brown, crisp to the touch, and sound hollow when tapped.

    15–25 MIN
  4. Serve immediately, or cool completely and freeze in a zipper-lock bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a hot toaster oven before serving.
