31/08/2003: Toad in the Hole
Toad in the Hole is a classic British meal which thankfully contains neither frogs nor potholes.
Ingredients
- 6 pork sausages
- 2 eggs
- 100g flour
- 50g butter/margerine, melted
- 100 mL water
- 50 mL milk
- a pinch of salt
- 1 onion
- ¾ teaspoon of sage
- a little oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
There are too many complicated recipes for batter out there. Try mine – it’s easy! Pop the eggs, flour, butter, water, milk and salt into a blender. Blend. Set aside. You now have batter.
Fry the onion in the oil until transparent. Add sage and fry for a couple more minutes.
Arrange the sausages in a casserole dish and pour the batter over them. Pour the onion mixture on top.
Bake until the mixture has set (usually at least 40 minutes!). Serve plain, or with a rich gravy.
Variation
Wrap each sausage in a rasher of smoked bacon first!
