Toad in the Hole

1 pound bulk sausage
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk

Shape sausage into 1-inch balls and place in a 2-quart casserole. Bake 15 or 20 minutes until lightly browned at 400 degrees F.

Pour off most of the fat from the casserole, leaving about 1/4 cup.

While sausage bakes, sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Add milk and eggs. Mix together lightly and beat the mixture together well until very smooth. Pour into the hot casserole over the sausage balls and bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake another 15 minutes.

Serve immediately with cold applesauce.
