Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 300 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 links sausages
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) or Gas Mark 7.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and mix in the salt and black pepper.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack in the eggs. Beat the eggs gradually into the flour using a whisk.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
Place a large ovenproof dish (approximately 9x13 inches) in the preheated oven. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dish, and allow it to heat in the oven for 5 minutes until the oil is sizzling hot.
While the oil is heating, prick the sausages with a fork to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven and arrange the sausages in a single layer. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 5 minutes to start browning the sausages.
Remove the dish from the oven and quickly pour the prepared batter over the sausages. Be careful to work swiftly to prevent the dish and oil from cooling.
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the batter is puffed up and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven while baking to prevent the batter from collapsing.
Serve hot, ideally with gravy and your choice of steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
