Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
Drop a small amount of lard (approx 1/4 tsp) lard into each of the 10 spaces in the muffin tray. Place the tray into the preheated oven while you crack on with the pudding mix.
Combine the eggs, almond milk, cream, extra-fine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, mustard powder and a generous pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk VERY well to combine. If you have a hand blender at hand, a good blitz will ensure a smooth mixture. Transfer to a jug for easier pouring.
After this has all been done, remove the hot muffin tray from the oven and use a silicon pasty brush to brush the sides of the muffin spaces with the melted lard. Pour the batter into the 10 greased spaces of the muffin tray.
Place the tray into the oven for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 160°C (fan oven). This is 180°C for conventional ovens (or 350°F / gas mark 4) - and bake for another 25 minutes at this temperature (I always rotate my tray halfway through. If you do this too, be sure to do so quickly to avoid any heat being lost while the oven door is open.)
When done, turn the oven off and leave the tray in the oven for an additional 10 minutes so the Yorkshire puds can dry out a little.
Use a dessert spoon to gently nudge and lift them out of the tray. Serve warm. If you make these ahead of time, simply reheat in a warm oven (or a few seconds in the microwave).
