📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Toad in the hole is said to be named for the sausages poking out of the puffed batter. It's a simple dish: the same egg-and-milk batter used for Yorkshire pudding is poured into hot fat and baked with sausages. It's classically served with onion gravy and mashed potato.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a winter evening, the oven door opens to sausages peeking out of tall, puffed batter, and the children laugh about the name as they serve themselves.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 4)

Sausage 8
All-purpose flour 120g
Egg 3
Milk 250ml
Onion 2
Beef Bouillon 1
Salt 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper A pinch
Vegetable Oil 3 tbsp

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Mix the flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a smooth batter and rest 30 minutes.
Put oil and the sausages in an ovenproof dish and bake at 220°C for 10 minutes.
While the oil is very hot, pour in the batter all at once.
Bake at 220°C for 25 minutes until tall, puffed, and golden (don't open the door).
Meanwhile, sauté sliced onion, add a little flour, beef bouillon, and 300ml water, and reduce to make gravy.
Cut into portions and pour over the onion gravy.
