Serves:
1
Preparation Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
20 minutes
Oven Temperature:
180° c  -  360° f

Step 1: You will need

  • 6 sausages
  • 120 g plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ ltr 0.25 litres milk
  • 50 ml vegetable oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • large bowl
  • balloon whisk
  • oven dish

Step 2: Cook the sausages

Pre-heat the oven to a temperature of 220ºc. Oil the oven dish, place the sausages in it and put them into the oven.

Step 3: Make the batter

To make the batter in which the sausages - or toads - will wallow, tip flour into a mixing bowl and add salt and seasoning to taste.

Now make a well in the flour and crack the 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 4: Add the batter to the sausages

Back to the sausages. After 10 minutes of roasting, your toads will be nice and brown. Take the oven dish out, and pour the batter over them.

Now put the sausage and batter back in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 5: Remove from the oven

If everything's gone according to plan, the batter will have risen nicely 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: And serve

Accompany with green vegetables of your choice.

    Thank you - this turned out perfectly. For those of you in Italy, like me, I used the kind of flour they sell for making home-made pasta and that did the trick.

    Hello babriggs, my yorkshire pudding, scones etc. don't rise, I live in Italy so I also think it must be the flour. A baker who moved to Spain could not get his scones to rise there either but when he ordered his flour from UK they rose!

    Great about found VideoJug. My son who lives in USA just asked how to make Toad in the Hole. I was too lazy to type so I have just send Thank you. Now he wants sconces. I remembered I cooked in USA on visiting, he asked me to make scones, but scones that I made don’t rise I was wonder maybe their flour different from ours or oven not hot enough?

    If U get a small serving bowl that just fits 4 eggs in get 2 other bowls the same size and fill 1 up with milk and 1 with flour (not self rising!) brown the sausages in a frying pan while the oil is heating up, mix the ingredients like in the vid. Take hot oil out put in sausages pour over batter and heat for 20 - 25 mins. Even better and FAR easier, no measuring! Serve with baked beans (which is traditional) or onion gravy, peas and mash. YUMMY!! (You can also add cooked onions to the dish before U pour in the batter)
