Toad in the Hole

Submitted by angelina ballerina

"mmmm. Traditional british food, I cook this with veg sausages and onion gravy, but it works with good pork sausages too. I will warn that yorkshire pudding doesnt work quite as well in drier climates, but a tip I have heard is to add a pan of water to the bottom of your oven while baking. Never tried it myself being in the U.K, but give it a go."

Lovely simple recipe, easy and quick. I did add some rosemary and thyme and pepper, just to add some flavour to it, and might add some garlic next time too.

the batter mix was perfect, but just a bit too much oil for the size pan i used. xx

Have read about Toad in the Hole in British novels for years. Never thought I'd get the chance to try it. It was great! Used Morningstar Farms soy sausages and they worked very well. Topped it with beef gravy. Yumms!

My husband was born in England. Today was a cold, wet Autumn day in Australia. We both felt like some comfort food, something to remind us of our child-hood. "Do you remember Toad in the Hole?" Adrian asked as he lit the open fire. I went hunting for the recipe. As we like onions I threw in some sliced onion with the pork sausages. Adrian made the gravy. He makes the best gravy. Toad in the Hole with green beans, corn and gravy, eaten in front of an open fire is a meal fit for a King. Many thanks for this recipe.
