2 tablespoons of butter

Method
- Preheat your oven to about 240°C/475°F/gas 9)
- Whisk the eggs, flour, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then pour into a jug.
- For the gravy put a large pan on a medium heat. Add the butter, olive oil and chopped onions. Add in the leaves from the rosemary sprigs. Gently cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.
- Put the sausages into a roasting tray and sprinkle over a little olive oil and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Place the cooked sausages to a deep open proof dish. Pour in the batter, then put straight into the middle of the oven.
- Cook for around 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pudding is golden and fluffy. Do not open the door.
- Finish off making the gravy. Add beef stock with hot water to your onion sauce you made earlier. Gently simmer and then pour into a jug.
- Serve with rich onion gravy and green beans.
