About this dish
Aquafaba replaces eggs to create the steam-driven lift that gives these puddings their dramatic rise and hollow centre — resting the batter overnight develops a deeper flavour and ensures a crisper shell.

Method
Whisk together the aquafaba, oat milk, and apple cider vinegar in a jug until lightly foamy. Add the sifted plain flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt, then whisk until completely smooth with no lumps. Pour into a jug for easy pouring.
Cover the batter and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Remove the batter from the fridge 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off. Preheat the oven to 230°C (210°C fan / gas 8) with a 12-hole muffin tin placed on the middle shelf.
Once the oven is at full temperature, add approximately ½ tsp refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening to each hole of the tin and return it to the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the fat is smoking and shimmering visibly.
Working very quickly, pour the batter evenly into the smoking-hot tin, filling each hole about two-thirds full — you should hear an immediate, loud sizzle as the batter hits the fat.
Bake for 20 minutes until the puddings are deeply golden, well-risen, and hollow-sounding when tapped — do not open the oven door during this time or they will collapse.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while the shells are still crisp and standing tall.
