  • Making the Yorkshire pudding batter:
  • In a large bowl add your cold eggs and salt, whisk thoroughly together.
  • Add the flour to the bowl and whisk to a smooth paste, add a little of the milk if needed.
  • Once you have a very smooth paste, you can now add the rest of the milk.
  • Give it a good whisk, then transfer it to a jug.
  • By this time your sausages will be up to temperature, Approx 10 minutes since placing in the oven.
  • Carefully lift the tin out of the oven and on to the cooker top, preferably onto a heated up hot plate.
  • Quickly but carefully pour the batter over the sizzling sausages.
  • Get the tin back into the oven, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Once risen and golden brown, remove from the oven, slice into portions and serve with mash, veg, and lots of rich onion gravy.
  • Enjoy.
