British Toad in the Hole

[otterlyslick]

I recently whipped up a classic British dish, Toad in the Hole, and it was a hit! This comforting recipe combines savory sausages with a fluffy Yorkshire pudding batter, making it a perfect meal for a cozy evening. Here's how you can make your own Toad in the Hole at home:

Ingredients:​

• 8 pork sausages
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Batter:​

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This helps the batter to rise better during baking.

2. Cook the Sausages:​

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the sausages and vegetable oil in a large, ovenproof baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sausages are browned and starting to cook through.

3. Combine and Bake:​

• Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the sausages. The hot oil will help the batter to start cooking immediately, which is key for a good rise.
• Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the batter is puffed up and golden brown.

4. Serve:​

• Once cooked, remove the Toad in the Hole from the oven. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve hot with a side of onion gravy and vegetables.

Conclusion​

Toad in the Hole is a delightful and hearty British classic that brings together the savory flavors of sausages and the light, airy texture of Yorkshire pudding. It's a simple yet satisfying dish that's perfect for a family dinner or a cozy night in. Enjoy this comforting meal with your favorite gravy and vegetables for a taste of traditional British cuisine!
