  6. Pour the batter into the tins and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and risen around the edges.

  7. Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan until hot then add the butter, sliced onions and garlic and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender but not coloured.

  8. Add the red wine and reduce by half.

  9. Add the beef stock and bring to the boil.

  10. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the balsamic vinegar and thyme and cook for 10-15 minutes.
