Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan/Gas 7). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, chickpea flour, and baking powder. Add the Dijon mustard, soya milk, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of fine salt, whisking until the batter is smooth.

In a separate jug or bowl, whisk the aquafaba until it becomes light and fluffy. Gently fold the whisked aquafaba into the flour mixture until just combined. Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Pour the sunflower oil into a large roasting tin and place it in the oven to heat up. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully add the plant-based sausages. Bake for 10-12 minutes, shaking the tin occasionally to ensure they brown evenly.

Carefully remove the tin from the oven and pour the rested batter around the sausages; it should sizzle immediately. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the batter is risen, slightly puffed, and golden brown.
