Recipe: the Finest English Toad In The Hole

Ingredients

• 6 sausages
• 120 g plain flour
• 2 eggs
• ¼ ltr 0.25 litres milk
• 50 ml vegetable oil
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 220 c. Oil the oven dish, place the sausages in it and put them into the oven.

Step 2

To make the batter in which the sausages ( or toads ) wallows, tip flour into a mixing bowl and add salt and seasoning to taste.
Now make a well in the flour and beat 2 eggs into the bottom. Whisk the eggs into the flour, then carry on whilst slowly adding the milk, all the while being careful that no lumps appear. At the end, the mixture should be thick and smooth.

Step 3

After 10 minutes of roasting, toads should be nice and brown. Remove the oven dish, and pour the batter over them.

Step 4

If everything goes well according to plan, the batter should have risen well around the sausages. Only then does this dish deserve its name because if the batter does not rise, Toad in the Hole becomes another dish entirely: Frog in the Bog.

Step 5

Accompany with green vegetables of your choice.
