Toad In The Hole Recipe - Authentic British Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 8 links pork sausages (preferably British-style)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking sausages)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) to ensure it's hot enough for the batter.

    Use a reliable oven thermometer to check the temperature.
  2. Cook the Sausages

    In a roasting pan, add vegetable oil and place the sausages. Cook in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until browned.

    Turn the sausages halfway through for even cooking.
  3. Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, salt, and mustard powder until smooth.

    Let the batter rest for 10 minutes for better rise.
  4. Combine and Bake

    Pour the batter over the sausages in the hot pan and return to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden.

    Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
  5. Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve hot with gravy and vegetables.

    Pair with onion gravy for a traditional touch.
