Toad in the Hole

This popular British dish features sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with onion gravy and vegetables. It is very tasty and very easy to make.

8 Sausages
100g Canola oil
110g All purpose flour
Pinch of salt
300 mls Milk
2 Eggs

Preheat the oven to 425oF / 220oC. Add the fat to the roasting tin and put in the oven. In a non-stick frying pan, cook the sausages gently over a medium heat for 15 minutes until browned all over. Place the flour and salt in a bowl, make a well in the middle and break in the egg. Add half the milk and whisk until smooth. Then add the remaining milk and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Remove the tin from the oven, and pour in the batter. Then add the sausages, spreading evenly in the batter. Reduce the oven heat to 400oF / 200oC and return the tin to the oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the batter is risen and golden in colour. Serves 4.
