- Make the batter. Put 140 g of flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt, crack in the eggs and whisk, adding the milk a little at a time, until smooth and as thick as single cream.3 eggs300 ml semi-skimmed milk
- Take the roasting tin out. The oil must be sizzling hot. Quickly pour the batter around the sausages and put it straight back in. Bake for 25 minutes until puffed up and deep golden. Do not open the oven door while it cooks, or it will sink.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and boil for 15 minutes until soft. Drain and mash. Slice the onions and fry slowly in a little oil for 15 minutes until soft and golden, stir in a tablespoon of flour, then add the stock cube dissolved in 400 ml of boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes to make gravy.300 g brown onions1 cube900 g white potatoes

Get the oil smoking hot before the batter goes in. That sizzle is what makes it rise.
