Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large oven-safe dish or roasting pan in the oven for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the sausages in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Set them aside.
In the same skillet, crisp up the bacon rashers, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
Add the Vegemite to the skillet and stir it into the leftover bacon drippings, then mix in the barbecue sauce. Coat the sausages in this mixture until fully covered.
Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven and pour the rested batter into the dish.
Quickly arrange the coated sausages and crispy bacon rashers evenly across the batter. Return the dish to the oven immediately to maintain heat.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the batter is puffed up and golden brown.
Slice and serve hot, optionally with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
