Toad in the hole

[hammerman]

Never done it before so going to have a go this evening. I presume you part cook the sausages then add the batter mix (2 eggs, 4 oz flour, 1/2 pt milk) to the sausages and cook in a hot oven until risen.

Does anyone have anything they put with it eg does anyone add chopped onions or mushrooms to the batter.

Thanks in advance

Shaney beat me to it.

Cook the sausages for about ten minutes on GM7 before adding the batter for another 20-25 mins. I always add a bit of ground nutmeg to the batter as well. Yum!

Fantastic ideas....got some onions chopped (will be browned first) and some mushrooms....might add a few chopped tomatoes too.

Sausages are in, batter is mixed and i can't wait. I will add some nutmeg as i love the stuff...especially in my scrambled eggs !!!!

Thanks a million everyone but keep the suggestions coming

The batter will rise best if the flour is sieved and thoroughly whisked, perhaps several times. I also prepare it before cooking the soss so it can warm up a bit if the milk has come out of the fridge. As with Yorkshire pud (same mix) the oil/lard/dripping should be very hot as you pour in the batter. Garry Rhodes suggested sometimes making them similar to a naan by adding a little curry powder or chopped coriander and turmeric with perhaps lime or lemon zest.

Make sure you don't use too much batter, else the damn thing will never cook, and you'll have a sticky old gunky mess on your hands!!

Wrap part cooked sausages in streaky bacon put in the oven with chopped onion to reheat Pour the batter over while hot
