1. 1
   In a bowl, combine flour, milk, and eggs. Whisk the eggs and mix all ingredients together until well combined.
   ▶ ≈0:37
2. 2
   Stir the batter until smooth and lump-free. Small lumps are fine since the batter will rest for an hour, allowing them to dissolve.
   ▶ ≈1:29
3. 3
   Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for one hour.
   ▶ ≈1:59
4. 4
   Prick the sausages several times with a fork or knife.
   ▶ ≈2:26
5. 5
   Add a small amount of olive oil to a baking tray and arrange the sausages on it. Bake in a static oven at 200°C for 20–25 minutes.
   ▶ ≈2:39
6. 6
   Remove the rested batter from the refrigerator and stir in salt and black pepper.
   ▶ ≈3:16
7. 7
   Open the oven, and quickly pour the batter over the hot sausages while the tray remains in the oven. This thermal shock helps the batter puff up rapidly.
   ▶ ≈3:48
8. 8
   Keep the oven at the same temperature and bake for another 25–35 minutes until the batter is golden and puffy. Check on it occasionally.
   ▶ ≈4:32
9. 9
   Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot. The sausages should be completely enveloped in a golden, puffy batter.
   ▶ ≈4:47
