Step 1

Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the flour, eggs, milk, mustard and some salt and pepper, blitz until smooth, then leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the oil into a metal roasting tin about 30 x 23cm and 7.5cm deep. Brush the oil all over the sides and bottom, then put in the oven. When the oil in the roasting tin is very hot and smoking, add the sausages to the tin, evenly spread out, and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Give the rested batter a stir and pour into the really hot tin - take care as it may spit. Quickly sprinkle over the sage leaves and rosemary, then put in the middle of the oven. Do not open the door for 25 minutes, then check to see if the batter is puffed up and brown and completely cooked through. If needed, cook for a further 5-10 minutes. Serve straight from the dish.
