Here’s a great recipe to make Toad in the Hole, adapted from the BBC Good Food website

Ingredients:

• 12 Sausages (We used Debbie & Andrew’s Harrogate 97% Sauasges, also good are Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Ulitmate 98% Sausages)
• Sunflower Oil
• Gravy

For the batter:

• 280g Plain Flour
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 4 Eggs
• 350ml Milk
• Ground Black Pepper

Preparation:

Turn your oven on to 200°C Fan/220°C Electric/Gas Mark 7 to preheat. Place the Sausages in a large baking tray and liberally coat with the Sunflower Oil. When the oven is preheated, bake for 15 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven.

While the Sausages are baking, we can prepare the batter mix. Sieve the Flour into the bowl and add the Salt. Once added, make a well and crack the Eggs into the well. Whisk the ingredients together (an electric whisk is best but it can be done with a normal balloon whisk). Slowly add the milk while whisking. Add some Ground Black Pepper to add a touch of seasoning. Once done, this can be left to stand while the Sausages finish baking.

Once 15 minutes are up, check the Sausages have browned well. Add the batter to the baking tray (we recommend adding it down the middle in the gap between the Sausages, it will expand and fill around the Sausages in all the gaps!). Place back in the oven on the top shelf and allow to cook for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye and make sure the batter is expanding well!

While cooking for the last 5 minutes, prepare some Gravy to pour over (We like thick beef Gravy!)

Once done, remove from the oven, serve up and enjoy!

This is quite a large meal and can be served by itself. Serves 4 people.
