Toad in the Hole

Toad in the hole is a traditional British dish comprised of sausages baked into a giant Yorkshire pudding. The dish is typically served with onion gravy and vegetables.

Cooking Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 190°C, 170°C fan gas mark 5.
Place the sausages on a baking tray and cook for 8 minutes. Set aside.
Increase oven temperature to 220°C, 200°C gas mark 7.
Once the oven has reached the above temperature, pour the 150ml of oil into the baking dish, and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes to heat. *Please be very careful with the hot oil when taking the dish out of the oven.
Now onto the batter. Tip the flour into a bowl, along with the salt.
Make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs.
Mix with either a balloon whisk, or electric hand whisk to combine into a thick batter.
Slowly add the milk, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
Add the rosemary, and half the cheese, reserving the remainder for the top.
Stir again to combine.
Transfer the batter into a jug and pour into the baking dish.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, being very careful of the hot oil, and place the sausages in a line. Leave space between them.
Pour the batter between and around the sausages.
Scatter the remaining cheese over the batter, and place on the top shelf of the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked in the middle.
Serve with onion gravy and vegetables.
