I'm going on memory, only. She always bought a rolled sirloin roast
which had a good coating of fat on the outside. Once the roast was
almost done, she heated the drippings until pretty well smoking and
poured in the pudding batter. Back in the oven. My mother wouldn't
let me get in the way of her cooking, so I'm afraid I can't give you
timing or temperature details. I only wish I knew.
