Method

  1. To make the batter, mix the flour and mustard powder in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth batter. Mix in the thyme.
  2. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Fry the sausages in the oil until golden brown. Put the sausages and any oil in the bottom of an ovenproof dish (you'll need one where you can arrange the sausages evenly with enough space between them for the batter to rise).
  3. Put the dish in the oven for 5 minutes to heat. Give the batter another whisk then pour into the hot dish. Put straight back in the oven and cook for 30 minutes until puffed, browned and crisp.

    This made a delicious meal. We replaced pork sausages with beef sausages, and served it with mashed potatoes,peas carrots and gravy.

    My favourite dish my girlfriend makes for me. She serves with buttery mash and peas and the best rich onion gravy ever. Delicious!

    This is my hubbys favourite dish, poor so and so, he went 3 years without me cooking it, found the recipe on here and looking forward to when I can cook it again. Lovely meal with Grainy Mustard Mash and Caramalised Onion Gravy, for pudding try the lemon sponge done in the microwave for 4 minutes!
