Delicious Comfort Food from England!
Submitted by: "Coach Mark"
Ingredients You'll Need
1.5 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of black pepper
1.5 cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
2 tbs melted butter
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 lb bangers (sweet Italian sausage)
Directions
Make batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Make a well in the center of the flour. Pour in the eggs, milk, and melted butter into the well and whisk into the flour until smooth. Cover and let stand 30 minutes.
Pre-heat baking dish: Coat the bottom and sides of an 8x12 or 9x9 ceramic or metal casserole dish with vegetable oil. Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven. Put the empty dish on the rack. Pre-heat the oven with the dish in it to 420*
Brown the sausages: While the oven is coming to temperature, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet on medium high. Add the sausages and brown them on at least a couple of sides.
Pour the batter over the sausages: When the sausages have browned, and the dish in the oven is hot, pull the oven rack out a bit, put the sausages in the casserole dish, and pour the batter over the sausages.
Bake: Bake at 450* for about 20-30 minutes or until the batter is risen and golden. Serve at once with a side of Heinz beans.
