  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Whisk until smooth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

    Cook the Sausages

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large ovenproof dish, place the sausages and roast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until they start to brown.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Remove the dish from the oven and carefully pour the batter over the sausages. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the batter is puffed and golden brown.
