In some counties, sausages are boiled and served on toast. They should be plunged into boiling water, and simmered for about 10 or 12 minutes.
Ingredients
sausages
a small piece of butter
toast (opt/li>
Directions
Prick the sausages with a fork (this prevents them from bursting)
Put them into a frying-pan with a small piece of butter
Keep moving the pan about
Turn the sausages 3 or 4 times
In from 10 to 12 minutes they will be sufficiently cooked, unless they are very large, when a little more time should be allowed for them
Dish them with or without a piece of toast under them, and serve very hot.
Note: Sometimes, in close warm weather, sausages very soon turn sour; to prevent this, put them in the oven for a few minutes with a small piece of butter to keep them moist. When wanted for table, they will not require so long frying as uncooked sausages. Source: The Book of Household Management by Isabella Beeton (1859)
