For some reason the last yr or so whenever I make this it just doesn't rise - barely at all. I've tried different tins - metal baking dishes/glass ones/ceramic. I've made the batter up and let it stand, then tried making it up and using immediately, I've tried oil to heat up, lard.......
Sooo does anybody have an absolutely foolproof way of doing it, including what dish you use. Thankyou muchly !!!

I use 100g plain flour, pinch salt, 1 egg 250ml milk. I use a large chunk of lard in a ceramic/pyrex dish and the oven is at Max and when lard is melted and smoking lob the mix in. Always rises.
