Unadorned Toad-in-the-Hole

This is about as simple a way of making it as possible. There are many possible accompaniments but today we kept it really plain and just had baked beans. Still great comfort food. Adjust quantities for more or fewer people. Please note that this recipe makes for quite a doughy mixture, which I think works well.

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 servings

Cooking time :

65-70 minutes including prep plus resting time

240 g

plain flour

1 tsp

Salt

1/2 tsp

Ground black pepper

eggs

330 ml

milk

large knob butter

sausages (I used 7 this time coz that what I had to hand)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Sieve the flour into a bowl. Season and mix together. Make a hole in the middle of the seasoned flour.

* Step 2

Add the eggs and incorporate into the flour with a balloon whisk. Then progressively add the milk until all the ingredients are mixed together into a lump-free thickish batter.

* Step 3

Rest the batter (best in the fridge) for at least 1 hour but ideally a few hours or even overnight.

* Step 4

When you’re ready to cook, pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 160C) then melt the butter in a roasting dish and cook the sausages for 20-25 minutes, turning two or three times, until the sausage skins are lightly browned all over.

* Step 5

Turn the heat up to Gas Mark 8 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 190C). Whisk the rested, chilled batter and pour the mixture into the roasting dish. Cook for 30-35 minutes, until the batter has risen and is a nice “Yorkshire Pudding” colour but not burnt.
