Toad in the Hole is a classic British comfort dish featuring savory sausages baked in a fluffy, golden Yorkshire pudding batter. This hearty meal combines simple ingredients to create a satisfying and flavorful dish perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Sausages

  • 1 lb mild sausage or bulk sausage meat
  • Drippings from sausage or about 2 tbs butter

Instructions

  1. Make the batter: Whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, and salt in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to help it rise and develop flavor.
  2. Prepare the oven and dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and add richness.
  3. Cook the sausages partially: Place the sausages evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish. Put the dish in the oven for 10-15 minutes to render some fat from the sausages, which will help flavor the batter and prevent sticking.
  4. Add the batter: Carefully remove the dish from the oven and pour the rested batter evenly over the sausages. The batter should sizzle as it hits the hot fat.
  5. Bake to finish: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 45 minutes. The batter will puff up around the sausages and turn a deep golden brown. Ensure the sausages are thoroughly cooked through before serving.

Notes

  • Resting the batter improves the texture and rise of the pudding.
  • You can use different types of sausages based on your preference, such as herbed or spicy varieties.
  • Serve with onion gravy and vegetables for a traditional meal.
  • Ensure the oven temperature is consistent to achieve that perfect puff and crispness.
  • Butter the pie dish well or use the sausage drippings for extra flavor and non-stick effect.
