Sausage Dinner
This simple batter puffs up in the oven like a popover and envelops the sweet sausage nestled down in it like a snuggly down comforter. This is a family favorite on cold winter Sunday nights.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a measuring cup with a spout, combine the milk with 1/4 cup water.
Step 2
Sift the flour into a small bowl and make a well in the center. Add the egg and, using a whisk, begin to incorporate it into the flour. Slowly add the milk mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth. Set aside to rest.
Step 3
Heat the oven to 450°F.
Step 4
Prick the sausages several times with a sharp knife and put them in an ovenproof skillet with the onion, oil, and 1/2 cup water. Bake for 18 minutes, turning occasionally, until the onions are browned, the sausages have begun to brown, and the water has reduced to just a thin coating in the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter around the sausages. Season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the batter is puffed and deep golden brown.
