Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, mustard powder and salt. Gradually whisk in the eggs, skimmed milk and thyme leaves, using a balloon whisk, until you have a smooth batter.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the sausages for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Transfer the sausages to a medium baking dish and add the remaining oil, then cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the batter over the sausages, then return to the oven to cook for a further 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed. Serve drizzled with onion gravy, if you like.
