Pork Sausages
Ingredients
Directions
The book says “a fairly hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.
Prepare
Divide the sausages and prick them with a fork.
Place them side by side in a well-greased paper bag.
Close the bag and fasten it with clips.
Bake
Place the bag on a wire rack and cook in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 15 minutes.

What each ingredient does
- Sausages
- Their fat renders during baking, moistening the meat and helping the casing brown.
The step that matters
Pricking the sausages. Pricking lets steam escape as the fat and water heat up, which helps stop the casings from bursting while they cook.
