Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces pork sausages
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300 milliliters whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or beef dripping
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/425°F/Gas Mark 7.
Place the sausages in a large ovenproof dish or roasting tin and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Scatter fresh rosemary on top, if using.
Bake the sausages in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
While the sausages are cooking, prepare the batter. In a medium bowl, sift the flour and add the salt and pepper.
Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into the well. Gradually whisk in the milk, mixing from the center outward, to form a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Remove the dish with the sausages from the oven. Carefully pour the batter evenly over the sausages, ensuring they remain spread out in the dish.
Return the dish to the hot oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the batter is puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during this time as it may cause the batter to collapse.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with onion gravy, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a traditional British meal.
