Toad in the Hole

Last year, my family spent Christmas together in London (where my parents live). Ryan and I fell in love with the pubs (more specifically, the pub food!). Since the trip, we've wanted to try and make some of the dishes we enjoyed. One of our favorites was Toad in the Hole and I have to say, our first attempt didn't turn out all that bad! I even found "authentic English bangers" at the grocery store!


1 1/2 cup of plain flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb of good-quality sausage (pork, turkey)
salt and pepper

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Sift flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Make a well in the center of the flour. Whisk the eggs and the milk into the center of the well in the flour, gradually to smooth out lumps. Cover and let stand 30 minutes.

Brown the sausages in a little olive oil and cook through, about 10 minutes

Put sausages in a square baking dish, pour the batter over the sausages and place in oven. Cook for about 25 minutes or until the batter is risen and golden. Serve at once.

Serves 4-6
