Instructions

  1. Add the oil to an oven-proof pan/tray - mine is a square 23cm, 9 inches.
  2. Arrange the sausages in the pan, and bake in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius (430 Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, make the batter.
  4. Sift the flour in a large pan, and make a well in the middle.
  5. Add the eggs, and whisk well to get a paste. (or use a hand mixer).
  6. Pour in the milk whisking well to get a smooth batter, then season with salt and pepper.
  7. If the batter is not smooth enough, pass it through a sieve to get the right texture.
  8. When the sausages are cooked, pour over the batter, and bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until golden and fully risen.

Notes

  • To make the dish, we need to cook the sausages first -fried, baked, it's up to you. I usually go for the baked version, just because they can also be cooked at the same time, and there is less fuss (and less smoke+smell in the kitchen. Uncooked sausages won't have time to be ready by the time the batter is fully risen and cooked.
  • It is best to bake the sausages in the same pan the toad in the hole will be cooked. In this way, the pan is very hot, which is what we need for the batter to cook properly.
  • Once everything is in the oven, leave them to cook undisturbed, as opening the oven too early, or too often might result in a flat soggy pudding base.
  • You can add other ingredients to the batter to make the dish even yummier: caramelised onions, herbs, veggies, and the list can go on. Or keep it simple, it's still amazing!
