Method

1. To make the batter, sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt and pepper.

6. Wash and slice leeks into coins until you reach the green of the leaf then place coins into your boiling water to blanch for 4 minutes. Then remove and place leeks onto a towel to drain of any access water.
7. Heat a large non-stick pan and sear the now blanched leeks until perfectly golden brown on one side then set aside, cook the sausages over medium heat until golden-brown all over. Turn off the heat and brush the sausages with the mustard. Set aside.
