This old-fashioned English dish has fried sausages cooked in a simple fluffy batter - kind of like a baked version of our Aussie sausage sangers. - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

1.5 cups plain flour
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp dijon mustard
1-2 tbsp oil
500g chipolata sausages
Rosemary sprigs
Thyme sprigs

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C. Whisk together flour, eggs, milk and mustard. Set aside for 20 minutes at room temperature. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.
Step 2

Heat 1 tbsp oil in an ovenproof frypan and brown sausages on all sides. Remove sausages from pan and set aside. Do not remove the oil/sausage fat from the pan. Add extra tablespoon of oil if required, and heat. Pour batter into hot pan, then place sausages in the batter so they are partially submerged. Dot rosemary and thyme in between the sausages. Place pan in the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 180 and cook a further 5-10 minutes until batter is cooked through and golden on top. Slice into portions ensuring everyone gets some sausages and some batter.
