Steps
Steps
- 1Whisk the 140 g flour with half the salt, make a well, whisk in the eggs and then the milk gradually, to a smooth batter like single cream. Stir in the mustard and thyme and rest for at least 30 minutes: rested batter rises higher.
- 2Heat the oven to 220°C. Put the sausages in a 20 × 30 cm roasting tin with the oil and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
- 3Take the tin out — the oil must be smoking hot — and pour the batter in at once around the sausages; it should sizzle at the edges.
- 4Bake for 25–30 minutes without opening the door, until the batter is puffed, crisp and deep golden.
- 5Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 15 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp flour, then gradually the stock, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened; season with the rest of the salt and pepper.
- 6Cut into squares and serve at once with the onion gravy.
