Equipment

  • 8 pork sausages

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs

  • ground black pepper to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pour the vegetable oil into a large baking dish (around 9x13 inches) and arrange the sausages in a single layer. Bake for about 10 minutes until they start to brown.
  • While the sausages are cooking, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center, add the eggs, and gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter. Season with black pepper.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter over the sausages, ensuring they are well-covered.
  • Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the batter is risen, golden, and crispy.
  • Serve immediately, as the pudding will start to deflate once it's out of the oven. Toad in the Hole can be enjoyed with gravy and vegetables for a hearty meal.

Notes

  1. Sausage Selection: Use high-quality pork sausages for the best flavor. You can also experiment with different types of sausages like chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
  2. Batter Tips: For the fluffiest pudding, make sure your milk and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. Also, rest the batter for a few minutes after mixing for a lighter texture.
  3. Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is properly preheated to 425°F (220°C) before adding the sausages. A hot oven is key to getting that perfectly crispy and golden pudding.
  4. Browning the Sausages: Give the sausages enough time to brown in the oven before pouring the batter over them. This not only improves the flavor but also helps the batter rise properly.
