- 1 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 150 ml – 175 ml milk
- 2 tbsp duck fat
- instant gravy granules (this recipe used Bisto)

- Place the flour in a large bowl and form a well in the centre. Add the salt and eggs and whisk until combined. Gradually add the milk until you have the consistency of thick pouring cream, adding more milk if you need.
- Add the duck fat to the roasting tin in the oven and heat until almost smoking.
- Very quickly and carefully add the batter and the sausages to the roasting tin in the oven.
- Cook for 10 minutes until the batter has risen, then reduce the heat to 175˚C to cook the centre for a further 15 minutes.
