TOAD IN THE HOLE III

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the oil into the bottom of a baking dish, and arrange the sausages over it in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and half of the milk until smooth. Gradually mix in the rest of the milk until a smooth batter is achieved. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the sausages from the oven, and ladle the batter over them until the sausages are 3/4 covered. Return to the oven, and bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is risen and browned. Don't worry if the underside seems slightly soft, as this is normal.

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE IN 4 EASY STEPS

Steps:

• Make the batter: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 7. Tip 210g plain flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in 1 tsp English mustard powder with a good pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, crack in 4 eggs, then pour in a little from 400ml milk. Whisk the mixture, gradually incorporating some of the flour, until you have a smooth batter in the well. Now add a bit more milk and continue stirring until all the milk and flour has been mixed together.
• The batter is ready: You should now have a smooth, lump-free batter that is the consistency of double cream. Stir in the leaves from 4 thyme sprigs, then tip the batter back into the jug you measured your milk in, for easier pouring later on. Use scissors to snip the links between 8 plain pork sausages, then drop them into a 20 x 30cm roasting tin. Add 1 tbsp sunflower oil, tossing the sausages in it to thoroughly coat the base of the tin, then roast in the oven for 15 mins.
• Cook the batter: Take the hot tray from the oven, then quickly pour in the batter - it should sizzle and bubble a little when it first hits the hot fat. Put it back into the oven, then bake for 40 mins until the batter is cooked through, well risen and crisp. Check it after 40 minutes, cover loosely with foil if it is browning too much. If you poke the tip of a knife into the batter in the middle of the tray it should be set, not sticky or runny.
• Make the gravy: Soften 2 sliced onions with 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan for about 20 mins, stirring often, until they are golden brown. Sprinkle in 1 tsp soft brown sugar for the final 5 mins. Add a spoonful of plain flour, then cook, constantly stirring, for 2 mins, so it coats the onions and there is no dry flour left. Gradually pour in 500ml beef stock, stirring well to make a smooth sauce. Bubble for 4-5 mins to thicken, then season. Cut the toad-in-the-hole into large wedges and serve with the gravy spooned over.

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a medium well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Put the sausage in the skillet, and bake until almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mustard until blended. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry, just until you have a slightly lumpy thin batter.
• Carefully, pour the batter over the partially cooked sausages and continue to bake until the batter puffs and is crispy, and brown, about 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the Toad-in-the-Hole, hot, in the skillet with more mustard on the side.

TOAD IN THE HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180c. Use the oil to grease the dish that you are using, I normally use a large Pyrex dish for this, and then set in oven to preheat too for about 10 minutes.
• Once done put your sausages in the dish and give a quick stir so they are covered in the oil. Cook for half an hour turning every 10 minutes or so to ensure even Browning. (Please note I normally use frozen Richmond sausages so if you are using fresh you will need to adjust your cooking times.)
• While the sausages are cooking you will need to start making your batter. Crack and beat the eggs in a separate bowl and put to one side. Then sieve out the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Add half the milk and whisk until all the flour has been absorbed into the mixture. The add the beaten egg and pepper, continue to whisk until the batter is fully blended.
• Now add the remainder on the milk and continue to whisk until frothy. Once done set aside until the sausages are done. (I usually transfer the batter into the measuring jug I used for the milk, if you would like to do the same please use a jug that is at least 1 ltr)
• Once the sausages are done pour you mixture all over them and return to the oven for another half an hour. Serve straight away.
• Goes great with creamy mash, veg and gravy Serves at least 4 people but if feeding more could add more sausages in the beginning, the dish I use can hold up to 16 sausages so I could feed 5 or 6 people.
