Toad in the Hole

Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 15 min

Cooking Time: 40 min

Ingredients

3 medium eggs

250ml cup of plain flour

300ml semi-skimmed milk

6 good-quality Cumberland sausages (approx. 450g)

Dash of Knorr Chicken Touch of Taste (or Beef)

25g beef dripping or vegetable oil

Gravy, to serve

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 190ËšC.
  • Break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk vigorously.
  • Add the flour little by little, sprinkling it over the surface of the beaten eggs and whisk until it makes smooth paste.
  • Add the milk in little by little, until it’s blended into the egg and flour mix.
  • Whisk the batter well and season with a dash of Knorr Chicken Touch of Taste – this gives the batter a nice roasty flavour.
  • Set the batter aside to stand for an hour or two. This will help make the batter light and airy when baked.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 220ËšC.
  • Place a deep roasting tin the oven to heat through well.
  • Heat the beef dripping or vegetable oil in a large frying pan on the hob. Add in the Cumberland sausages and fry until browned on all sides, turning often. I use Cumberland sausages because they’re large and chunky and work well in this dish. For a healthier version, you can grill the sausages instead of frying them.
  • Transfer the browned sausages and the dripping or oil in which they were fried to the pre-heated roasting tin. Place the tin in the oven and heat through for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the rested batter over the sausages in the roasted tin. Return to the oven and bake for 25‐30 minutes until the batter has risen and is golden-brown.
  • Serve at once, with gravy on the side.
