Heat oven to 450F

Prick the sausages and simmer them in water to cover for about 5 minutes. Pour the beef dripping or butter into a pie pan and set it in the oven to heat - do not let it burn. Beat the eggs in a blender or electric mixer; then gradually add the other ingredients. Beat until the batter is very smooth. Take the pie pan out and pour in a thin layer of batter. Lay the drained sausages on top of this and pour on the remainder of the batter. Bake at 450F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and continue baking for another 20 minutes, when the pudding should be puffed, golden, and crisp. Serve at once.
