Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220c.

Step 2

Add the oil and sausages to an oven proof dish and stir to coat everything with the oil. Place the dish in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk the flour and salt with the eggs until you have a very smooth, very thick paste.

Step 4

Add about a third of the milk, whisk until smooth, add the rest, along with the water and again whisk until totally smooth.

Step 5

Remove the dish from the oven and then pour in the batter around the sausages.

Step 6

Return to the oven and reduce the temperature to 200°C. Cook for 30 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN until at least 25 minutes has passed! Serve immediately when crisp and golden.
