Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • 8 Sausages (About 450g)
  • 150 g Plain flour
  • Pinch Salt
  • 3 Eggs
  • 200 ml Semi-skimmed milk
  • 50 ml Water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) fan setting to ensure it’s hot enough for the batter to rise perfectly.
  2. Cook the sausages: Add the sunflower oil and sausages to a metal oven-proof dish. Stir well to coat the sausages evenly with oil. Place the dish into the preheated oven and cook for 10 minutes to start browning the sausages and heating the oil.
  3. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the plain flour and pinch of salt with the eggs until you achieve a very smooth and thick paste. Gradually add one-third of the semi-skimmed milk, whisking continuously until smooth.
  4. Add remaining liquids: Pour in the rest of the milk and the water, whisking thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Combine batter with sausages: Remove the hot sausage-filled dish from the oven. Carefully pour the batter evenly around the sausages in the dish.
  6. Bake the toad in the hole: Return the dish to the oven, reduce the temperature to 200°C (400°F), and bake for 30 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door for at least 25 minutes to prevent the batter from collapsing.
  7. Serve: Once the batter has risen and turned crisp and golden, remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a metal oven-proof dish to ensure even heat distribution and a crispy base.
  • Do not open the oven door before 25 minutes of baking to allow the batter to rise properly.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the batter or sausages.
  • This dish pairs well with onion gravy and steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
