SAUSAGE YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Make nine small patties of the sausage and arrange them in the bottom of a 9" square pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 F. Meanwhile beat milk into eggs; slowly add the flour and salt and continue beating until big bubbles rise from the bottom of the batter. Remove sausage from the oven and drain all but 2 tbsp of fat. Quickly pour egg mixture onto sausage. Bake 30 minutes at 425 F until puffed high.

SAUSAGE CASSEROLE IN A YORKIE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole. Fry the onion for 8-10 mins over a low heat so it starts to soften and caramelise. Add the celery and cook for a further 5-10 mins until softened. Add the tomato purée and cook for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes, sugar, mustard, thyme, carrots and 400ml water, and bring to the boil. Cook, uncovered, over a low heat for 15 mins. Meanwhile, fry the sausages in the remaining oil until they are browned all over, add them to the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 10 mins.
• To make the batter, crack the eggs into a bowl or jug, then add the flour and whisk together until smooth. Gradually add the milk and carry on whisking until the mixture is lump-free. Season. Pour the batter into a jug, cover and chill for at least 30 mins and up to 24 hrs.
• While the casserole is cooking, or when you're ready to serve your Sunday lunch, heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Drizzle a little rapeseed oil into a 30cm frying pan with an ovenproof handle and put it in the oven for 5 mins. Pour the batter into the pan, put it back in the oven and cook for 25 mins. Check the Yorkshire pudding. It should have a good dark brown colour at the edges and feel firm and dry. If it's ready, take it out and keep warm. To serve, spoon the sausage casserole into the Yorkshire, and scatter over the parsley, if you like.

SAUSAGE & STUFFING TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, mustard powder, eggs and milk with a good pinch of salt until smooth. Leave to rest for at least 30 mins.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small pan. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-15 mins until really soft. Meanwhile, make up the stuffing following pack instructions, adding the sage. Scoop out a quarter of the onions and add these to the stuffing mixture, too - leave the rest in the pan for the gravy. Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8.
• Shape the stuffing into 8 walnut-sized balls. Pour the remaining oil into a large roasting tin or dish and brush it all over the bottom and sides. Add the sausages and stuffing balls, and cook for 15 mins.
• Remove the tin from the oven, loosen the sausages and stuffing from the bottom of the tin if they are sticking, then pour over the rested batter. Return the tin to the oven on a middle-high shelf, but give it space to rise. Bake for 35-40 mins until puffed and golden - don't be tempted to open the oven door any earlier or the batter might sink.
• While the toad-in-the-hole is cooking, make the gravy. Add the flour, onion chutney and Marmite to the onion pan and mix to a paste. Cook for 2 mins until bubbling, then pour in the stock, bit by bit, stirring continuously so it doesn't go lumpy. Bubble for 5 mins and season if needed. Keep warm until ready to serve.
