Toad in the hole
Ingredients – serves 2
• 9/12 chipolatas. I used 9.
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil
• For the batter
• 160g plain flower
• 2 eggs
• 180 ml semi-skimmed milk
Method
Heat the oven to 220C/200C. Pour oil into the base of the of an approx. 25 x 25 cm roasting tray and when hot add chipolatas. Bake for 15 minutes until browned
Meanwhile, make the batter. Tip the flour into a bowl with ½ tsp salt, make a well in the middle and crack the eggs into it. Use a balloon whisk to mix. Slowly add the milk, whisking all the time until you have a batter. Leave to stand until the sausages are cooked.
Remove the sausages from the oven – the fat should be sizzling hot.
Pour in the batter mix, transfer to the top shelf of the oven, then cook for 25-30 mins, until risen and golden.
Serve with plenty of gravy, mashed potatoes, and veg.
