Toad in the hole is basically just a batter mixture with sausages dropped into it here and there. At its best it is a very tasty dish, filling and usually well received by children. It's an easy meal to make, works well as a lunch, dinner or supper. The secret to the success of Toad in the Hole is the quality of the sausages you use and what you surround the dish with. Combine the Toad with oven roasted tomatoes, steamed spinach and thick onion gravy for a hearty, complete meal. Kids will love Toad in the Hole served with creamy rough mash potatoes and baked beans. If you want to be particularly creative try making individual Toad portions in small dishes.

Ingredients: Serves 4

120g flour (sifted)
240g sausages
2 eggs
300mls milk
Pinch of salt
Large knob of butter

Cooking Instructions:

To make the batter, put the sifted flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and beat well until bubbles appear in the mixture. It is generally accepted that the results will be better if you can leave the batter mix to stand for about two hours. If you haven't got the time don't worry, it shouldn't make a huge difference.
Take the sausages, brown them for about ten minutes at a high temperature in a heavy based frying pan.
Heat the butter in an ovenproof dish or baking tin (as with all batters make sure the fat is hot before putting the batter into the dish or tin ), pour the batter mixture into the dish.
Then drop the sausages in the batter.
Cook on gas 220°C for 40 minutes.
