Step-by-step

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6. Oil the muffin tin. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until frothy. In a separate bowl, put the flour, mustard and sage, then make a hole in the middle. Gradually add the soured cream and milk. Mix together lightly. Add the eggs and stir a little to combine, then leave the batter to stand for 30 minutes or so.
  2. Put the sausages in an ovenproof dish and cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, then set aside.
  3. Add the cider, if using, to the batter, stir for 10 seconds, then pour the mixture into a measuring jug (makes it so much easier to pour into the muffin tin). Divide the mixture among the muffin holes (it makes around 12) then put 3 sausage halves into each hole, sticking up with the uncut side down. Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. As soon as they are cooked, remove from the oven, leave for 1 minute then bang the tin on the surface to loosen them from the holes. Serve with gravy.
