Ours is flavored with fresh rosemary and a touch of mustard, and served with an onion gravy intensified by Madeira. Ingredients 2 large eggs ⅔ cup milk 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper ½ cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon fat 5 English-style fresh pork sausages, casings removed 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary Onion Gravy Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk, 2/3 cup water, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in flour. Let stand 20 minutes. Coat a 13-by-9-inch or 3 1/2-quart baking dish with the oil; heat in oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Pour batter into dish. Arrange sausages on top; sprinkle with rosemary. Bake until puffed, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with gravy. Rate it Print
