Toad in the Hole

Toad in the hole for 4

Ingredients

  • 12 Chipolatas
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 140g plain flour
  • 12 tsp Salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 175ml milk

Method

  • Heat oven to 220C/180C fan/gas 7.
  • Put the 12 chipolatas in a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with 1 tbsp sunflower oil, then bake for 15 mins until browned.
  • Meanwhile, make up the batter mix. Tip 140g plain flour into a bowl with ½ tsp salt, make a well in the middle and crack 2 eggs into it.
  • Use an electric whisk to mix it together, then slowly add 175ml semi-skimmed milk, whisking all the time. Leave to stand until the sausages are nice and brown.
  • Remove the sausages from the oven – be careful because the fat will be sizzling hot – but if it isn’t, put the tin on the hob for a few mins until it is.
  • Pour in the batter mix, transfer to the top shelf of the oven, then cook for 25-30 mins, until risen and golden
