💡 What's interesting
Its unique, puffed-up texture is achieved by pouring batter into very hot, oiled pans, creating a crispy exterior and a hollow, custardy interior. Historically, it was cooked beneath the roasting joint to catch the dripping fat, making it a frugal and flavorful way to stretch a meal.
