Ingredients

2 tbsp Sunflower oil
8 Sausages About 450g
150 g Plain flour
Pinch Salt
3 Eggs
200 ml Semi-skimmed milk
50 ml Water

Metric - Imperial

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220c.
Add the oil and sausages to an oven proof dish and stir to coat everything with the oil. Place the dish in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
Whisk the flour and salt with the eggs until you have a very smooth, very thick paste.
Add about a third of the milk, whisk until smooth, add the rest, along with the water and again whisk until totally smooth.
Remove the dish from the oven and then pour in the batter around the sausages.
Return to the oven and reduce the temperature to 200°C. Cook for 30 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN until at least 25 minutes has passed! Serve immediately when crisp and golden.

Notes

Serve with How about my Simple Onion Gravy recipe?

Oven door: DO NOT OPEN it until at least 25 minutes into the cooking time or the Yorkshire pudding it will sink.

Tin: Try to use a metal tin rather than ceramic dish as this will affect the cooking temperature. It needs to be large enough so that the batter can rise and creep around the edges (at least 30cm x 25cm ideally).

Add the batter quickly: This will help it to rise.

To serve: Best served with mashed potatoes, onion gravy and vegetables.
