What each ingredient does

Link sausages
Supply the meat and fat that make up the dish and brown under the heat.
Butter
Adds richness and moisture to the surface and helps the sausages brown.

The step that matters

Broil carefully, basting once with butter. Under direct broiler heat, sausage surfaces can char before the centre cooks through, and fat can dry out. Basting with butter adds moisture and promotes even browning, so the heat needs close watching.
