Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Add the salt and black pepper, then make a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and gently whisk, gradually incorporating the flour into the mixture.
Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to rest, or prepare in advance and refrigerate.
Place a large ovenproof dish or individual muffin tins in the oven to heat for 5 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the preheated dish or divide evenly among the muffin tins. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the oil is very hot.
Carefully place the sausages into the hot oil, ensuring they are spaced evenly. Return the dish to the oven and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sausages to begin browning.
Remove the dish from the oven and quickly pour the batter over and around the sausages. Work swiftly to maintain the oil’s heat.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes without opening the oven door to ensure the batter rises properly. The Yorkshire pudding should be golden and puffed, and the sausages cooked through.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Pair with onion gravy and steamed vegetables for a delicious, hearty meal.
