Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Milk - 2% fat
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt - divided
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Butter - unsalted and melted
  • 1 pound Sausage meat
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together milk, flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, melted butter and eggs until thoroughly mixed and there are no lumps left. Set aside and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C) and grease a 9 inch pie dish or casserole dish.
  • In a medium bowl mix together the sausage meat and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, pepper and oregano. Shape into 12 balls.
  • Place the sausage balls in the prepared dish and place the dish in the oven for about 10 minutes to brown the sausage slightly.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter over the sausage making sure not to cover the meat completely. Return the dish to the oven and bake approximately 45-50 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through and the batter has puffed up and browned. Serve hot with gravy if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

While this dish is best served immediately, you can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven, although it may become soft in the microwave and dry out in the oven.
