While the sausages are roasting, make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs. Whisk the eggs into the flour, gradually drawing in the flour from the sides to make a smooth, thick paste. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter the consistency of double cream.
