 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Flour
  1       c            Milk
  2                    Eggs
  1       t            Salt
    1/4   ts           Black pepper
  1       lb           Sausages
    1/3   c            Water

 In a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in
 a blender, blend flour, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper
 for 5 seconds.  Turn off the motor and with a rubber
 spatula, scrape down the sides of the container. Blend
 the batter for 20 seconds more, transfer it to a bowl
 and let it stand, covered with plastic wrap, for one
 hour. In a skillet, combine sausages, pierced lightly
 with a needle, and water. Bring the water to a boil
 over moderately high heat and boil the sausages,
 turning them, until the water is evaporated.  Saute
 the sausages, adding oil if necessary to keep them
 from sticking, for 7 minutes or until they are golden
 brown.  Transfer the sausages with a slotted spoon to
 a plate, pour 3 T. of fat from the skillet into an 8"
 square baking pan and heat the pan in a preheated very
 hot oven (450°) for two minutes.  Stir in the batter,
 pour one fourth of it into the pan and bake it in the
 very hot oven for two minutes, or until it is set.
 Arrange the sausages on the batter, pour the remaing
 batter over them, and bake the mixture for 15 minutes.
 Reduce heat to moderate (375°) and bake the mixture
 for 10-15 minutes more, or until it is puffed and
 golden brown.  Serve the dish immediately with
 Dijon-style mustard, if desired.
