Toad in the Hole

Sausages baked in a crisp, golden Yorkshire batter.

Cook 45 min · 200 °C fan

You'll need

  • 8 sausages
  • 1 tbsp oil

Batter

  • 3 oz plain flour
  • 1 egg, large
  • 3 fl oz milk
  • 2 fl oz water

Equipment

  • 20 × 30 cm roasting dish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan).
  2. Pour the oil into a 20 × 30 cm roasting dish (we use the large Le Creuset) and add the sausages. Bake for 25 minutes, until browned.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the batter ingredients until smooth. Leave to stand until the sausages are ready.
  4. Take the dish out. The fat should be sizzling hot.
  5. Pour the batter evenly across the dish. Move it to the top shelf and cook for 20 minutes, until risen and golden.
  6. Serve with gravy and your favourite veg.
