["Preheat oven to 425 degrees.", "While oven is heating, prepare batter: Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes or so.", "Heat oil over medium-high heat in large pan. Cut sausages into individual links. Pierce each sausage in a few places with a sharp knife.", "Add sausages to pan, brown without cooking through, about 10 minutes. Adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.", "Directly from the heat, while sausages and fat are still extremely hot (this is absolutely critical) dump all into a 9x9"" baking dish. Quickly arrange so sausages don't overlap, pour batter directly over, and pop into oven. Bake for 40 minutes, without peeking, until puffed and golden. Okay, you can peek, gently. Open the oven door only a crack to check the color within the last five minutes of cooking time.", "Heat butter over medium heat in medium saucepan. Add onions and saute until golden, almost lightly browned, about 10 minutes.", "Add flour. Stir, in an attempt to distribute the flour, about a minute.", "Pour in beef stock, and let come to a simmer as it thickens. Simmer for a few minutes to get rid of the floury taste. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.", "Serve onion gravy alongside, or atop, the toad in the hole.", "Should serve 4, but don't count on it!"]
