Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 pint milk, divided
1 tablespoon oil
6 -8 sausages

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
  • Add beaten egg, along with some of the milk; beat for a minute or two.
  • Add remaining milk.
  • Place the batter mixture into the refrigerator for an hour or so to get really cold.
  • Preheat oven 420 degrees Fahrenheit (210 degrees Celsius).
  • Use a medium roasting dish and place oil in the pan.
  • Heat in the oven until the oil is really hot; if you flick a spot or two of water in the oil and it really sizzles then it is hot enough.
  • Quickly pour in all the batter and add the sausages, spaced a bit apart.
  • Cook for 30 to 40 minutes .
  • Lovely served with fresh vegetables of your choice and a gravy. I often freeze gravy to use with this type of dish.

TOAD IN THE HOLE



Toad in the Hole image

Sausages nestling in fluffy, golden, crisp Yorkshire pudding, served with hot onion gravy--one of my favourite traditional English recipes, a fantastic winter warmer and (especially if served with buttery mashed potato) real comfort food! I make this regularly in winter, though there's nothing stopping me fancying it in summer too! Can also be made into little individual sizes using cocktail sausages for the 'toads'. great for kids!

Number Of Ingredients 6

100 g flour
2 eggs
300 ml milk
1 pinch salt
8 -12 thick good quality sausages

Steps:

  • First place the fat and sausages into a large roasting tin or other oven-proof dish.
  • Cook in a hot oven for 30-40 minutes, shaking occasionally to turn the sausages.
  • Meanwhile prepare the batter. Make a well in the sifted flour and salt, add the egg and a some of the milk and mix to make a smooth paste.

  • Allow this to stand until sausages are cooked.
  • Take out the tin with the sausages, arrange the sausages so that they are spread evenly in the tin.
  • Quickly pour on the batter and return to the oven, cook for 30-40 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
  • Serve hot with onion gravy (made by slowly caramelising 3 large sliced onions in a frying pan with a little oil and then adding beef stock and red wine, reducing for 20 minutes and then thickening with cornflour and water) a green vegetable and boiled or mashed potatoes.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE AND MINI TOADS TOO!



Traditional British Toad-In-The-Hole and Mini Toads Too! image

Comfort food at its best! A traditional recipe handed down to me by my Mum and her Mum before her......it was my favourite after school tea time meal & is still a firm family favourite even now! I serve mine with lashings of onion gravy and piles of fluffy & buttery mashed potatoes. I used to make mini versions of this recipe for my daughter when she was little - they make great appetizers before a Halloween/Bonfire night supper or a children's Party! For the mini version, just use a small cake/pie tins or a small muffin tray and split your sausages into quarters OR use cocktail sausages. The following recipe is for 4 people served with potatoes & gravy - the recipe can easily be doubled for more people or if served by itself.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sausage or 8 sausages
4 ounces plain flour
2 eggs
1/2 pint milk
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon drippings or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220°C or 450°F.
  • Pour the dripping or vegetable oil into a large metal roasting tin. Place the tin in the preheated oven whilst you make the batter to heat the oil/dripping up.When the fat is hot, add the sausages and turn them over to coat them.Cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Make the Yorkshire pudding batter - Mix flour, salt & pepper together in a large roomy mixing bowl. Make a hollow in the centre & add the egg, mixing it into the flour with a wooden spoon.Add the milk gradually until all the flour and egg is worked in and smooth. Add any remaining milk and beat well with a balloon whisk or hand held beater.
  • Take the roasting tin with the sausages out from the oven and very QUICKLY pour the batter over the partly cooked sausages. Swirl around to make sure it covers everywhere.
  • Put them back into the oven cook for a further 30 minutes or until the batter has puffed up and the sausages are sizzling and brown!
  • Cut into 4 quarters and serve straight away with hot onion gravy & mashed potatoes!
  • You can also use pork or lamb chops instead of sausages - making sure they are not too thick. I often use pork chops with quartered apple and stuffing balls which is really lovely!
  • MINI TOADS:.
  • Twist a sausage into half and carefully cut through the skin to make 2 sausages - do this once more to each half making a total of 4 small sausages out of one big sausage. (Or use party cocktail sausages - mini frankfurters) carry on until you have made 12 mini sausages. Follow the instructions above, but only cook the mini sausages for about 5 minutes first and then another 15 minutes with the batter. Serve with tomato ketchup or home made tomato sauce/relish and mugs of soup for a great Winter supper!

TOAD IN THE HOLE WITH ONION GRAVY



Toad in the Hole With Onion Gravy image

A hearty recipe of sausages baked in a batter and served with onion gravy. It sounds like you can multi task and start the Toad in the Hole while the Onion Gravy cooks. I am not a fan of prosciutto and plan to use bacon instead. Lard would be a good substitute if you don't have bacon grease on hand. From Saveur magazine
