Ingredients
- 250 g sausage links
- 1 recipe Yorkshire pudding batter, uncooked
- 1 tbsp oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Bake the sausages with the oil in a roasting pan for 10 minutes. This cooks the sausages and allows the pan to heat up.
- Add batter to the hot pan. The oil should sizzle as the cold batter is added to the pan.
- Bake in the oven for about 40–45 minutes. The oven door must not be opened while the batter is baking; once the crust has risen and browned, you can open the oven. The outside should be crispy and the inside should be firm.
- Remove and serve hot.
Notes
Toad in the hole is commonly served with mashed potato, vegetables and gravy, or brown sauce.
Some people will add a splash of cold water to the batter before putting in the oven.
Putting the pan on the (turned-on) stove/hob can help keep the oil hot while adding the batter. However, this can lead to hot oil splatter, so caution is advised; as long as the dish is quickly returned to the hot oven, the stovetop isn't necessary to achieve a good rise.
Ideally use a metal pan.
Make the Yorkshire pudding batter ahead of time and store in the fridge to allow the flour to properly hydrate.
