Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (heaped) lard or goose or duck fat
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 8 pork sausages
  • Sea salt

For the batter:

  • 150 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 275 ml whole milk

Method

  • First, make the batter. Put the flour into a bowl and whisk it lightly to get rid of any lumps, then add a generous pinch of salt and the dried sage. Make a well in the middle and add the eggs. Work the eggs into the flour, then gradually add the milk.
  • Alternatively, put everything in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Leave the batter to stand for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Divide the lard or goose or duck fat between two four-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or one 12-hole tin. Put the tins in the oven to heat up.
  • Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Add a pinch of salt and the onion slices. Simmer them for three minutes, then drain thoroughly. Cut the sausages into rounds.
  • Divide the onion and sausages between the tins. Put the tins back in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, until the sausages have started to look nice and brown.
  • Remove the tins from the oven. Pour in the batter around the sausages and onion – there should be just enough batter to reach the top of each hole. Bake for a further 20 minutes until the Yorkshire puddings have risen and are a dark golden-brown.
  • Serve hot straight from the oven – with some gravy if you like.
