LET’S MAKE IT
Step by step
- 01
Whisk together the sifted flour, salt, eggs, and whole milk until smooth, then cover and rest the batter for 20 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and add the vegetable oil into a 9x13-inch metal roasting pan.
- 03
Place the oil-filled pan into the hot oven for 10 minutes until the oil is shimmering hot.
- 04
Sauté the red onion and apple slices in a small skillet over medium heat for 4 minutes until slightly softened.
- 05
Carefully transfer the hot roasting pan from the oven, arrange the sausages, onions, apples, and thyme inside, and immediately pour over the batter.
- 06
Return to the oven and bake uninterrupted for 25 to 30 minutes until the batter is dramatically risen, crisp, and golden brown.
A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
High-Heat Batter Baking
Pouring a cold liquid flour-egg batter into hot fat to force instant steam production and rapid expansion.
Notes from the kitchen
- Never open the oven door during the first 20 minutes of baking or the batter will deflate.
- Using room temperature eggs and milk ensures maximum rise in the Yorkshire batter.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by British; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
