Ingredients

  • 6 sausages

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 140g plain flour

  • 200ml semi-skimmed milk

  • 4 large eggs

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas 7

  2. Put the sausages in a roasting tin and drizzle over the oil. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes until the sausages are starting to get some colour

  3. To make the batter:

  4. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl

  5. Add the eggs to the flour and mix with a whisk until combined and smooth

  6. Add in the milk and beat with a whisk until combined and small bubbles form

  7. Remove the sausages from the oven and pour in the batter carefully around the sausages

  8. Place the roasting tin back into the oven and cook for around 30 - 35 minutes. Make sure not to open the oven until it is cooked as this will ruin the Yorkshire pudding
