This is a great british dish and adds a bit more to the meal for variety.
Advice: Sausages - check the ingredients first as many will have sugar / dextrose and possibly onions in even plain ones. If you cannot have wheat then go for gluten free ones preferably homemade or made by a reputable butcher. The better quality the sausage the purer it will be (You'll be surprised what they slip into the sausage mix to pad it out.)
15g / 1/2oz butter
1/2kg / 1 lb sausages
For the batter:
125g / 4oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1 egg
300 ml / 10fl.oz milk
To make the batter, sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Beat in the egg and gradually add enough milk to make a stiff batter.
Set aside for 10 minutes.
Add the remaining milk stirring constantly
Melt the butter in a flameproof baking dish and add the sausages.
Put the dish into the oven preheated to hot (220C / 425F / gas 7) and cook for 10 minutes or until evenly browned.
Pour the batter over the sausages and reduce the oven temp to moderate ( 180C / 350F / Gas 4) and bake for further 30 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and has risen.
Serve with safe veg if tolerated or mashed potato and a safe gravy - see separated recipe. I actually serve it for now just as it is with some gravy and it gets gobbled up.
