Toad In The Hole Recipe

How to make it

---

• Put the flour in a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center and beat in the eggs and salt.
• Add the milk, slowly, beating all the time.
• Beat the batter really well, until bubbles form on the top - or you can do this with an electric mixer or in a blender.
• Pour into a jug and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to approx 425, gas mark 8 ( a bit lower for a fan oven).
• Prick the sausages and gently fry them in a skillet for 4-5 minutes until just colored.
• Heat the oil in the tray until very hot - nearly smoking.
• Carefully but quickly add the sausages, leaving space between them.
• Pour the batter around and in between them and immediately pop them back in the oven for 25 minutes.
• The batter will raise up, especially around the edges.
• Serve with a thick brown gravy and your favorite veggies.
• This batter is also used for Yorkshire Puddings, traditionally served with roast meat - made in the same way but in individual bun tins. My grannie used to make extra little Yorkshire Puds and serve them with lemon juice and sugar - scrummy!
