Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put 2 sausages into each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin and drizzle with the oil. Bake for 15 mins, or until lightly golden, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, sift the flour into a large bowl. In a measuring jug, measure the milk and then crack in the eggs, mustard (if using) and thyme leaves, season well and whisk together. Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually pour in the liquid, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- Once the sausages are golden, remove the tin from the oven and quickly fill each hole with batter. Put two tomato halves on top of each.
- Quickly and carefully put the tin back in the oven and bake for 15 mins, or until golden and puffed up. Remove from the tin with a small palette knife and serve hot, scattered with the reserved thyme.
