Toad in the Hole

This one is a British classic that is a classic for any chilly day of the year. For anyone who is confused as to what this actually is I'll tell you - sausages buried in yorkshire pudding mix. Yum.



Servings: 2 

Ingredients

  • 4 Large sausages - any kind you like best, I use plain pork.
  • 200ml milk
  • 4 1/2oz plain flour
  • 2 medium - large eggs
Method

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees Celsius. Line casserole dish with a thin layer of cooking oil and place it in the middle of the oven.
  2. Partially cook sausages by shallow frying them on a low to medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning regularly. Put sausages in the casserole dish and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk together in a jug the eggs, milk, and flour until thick and creamy. Pour over the sausages evenly and cook in oven for 10-12 minutes - DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR DURING THIS TIME OR IT WILL NOT RISE CORRECTLY (I made this mistake once. It was a gooey messy disaster)
  4. Turn oven down to 175 degrees Celsius and cook for a further 10-15 minutes or until golden brown all over.
Serve with gravy and vegetables if desired. I always have gravy and sometimes some mashed potato but this is a very filling meal all by itself.
