Sausage Apple Toad In The Hole Recipes

TOAD IN THE HOLE

Steps:

• Prepare batter: Combine eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and milk in a large bowl; whisk thoroughly until batter is very smooth and no lumps remain. Whisk in water. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare sausages: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a buttered 9x12- or 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour oil from the skillet over the sausages; brush oil with a pastry brush all over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
• Start onion gravy: Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt; saute until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• While onion is cooking, pour batter in and around the sausages. Place in the center of a cold oven and turn temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Set oven timer for 30 minutes.
• While toad in the hole cooks, finish onion gravy: Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and return to a simmer. Add Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar and simmer until gravy thickens up and reduces, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• When timer goes off, remove toad in the hole from the oven; it should be browned and puffed. Spoon gravy over the sausages and garnish with green onions and chives.
• Serve with extra gravy.

SAUSAGE & APPLE TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Brush a 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tray with oil, then place a sausage in each mould. Brown the sausages all over in the tray over a high heat for 5 mins. Meanwhile, tip the flour into a large bowl, season and make a well in the centre. Whisk the milk, mustard and egg together, then pour a third of the mix into the well. Gradually draw the flour into the milk to form a paste, then whisk in the rest of the milk to make a smooth batter.
• Cut the sausages in half with a pair of kitchen scissors, scatter the apple slices between the sausages, then pour the batter over. Take off the heat, then bake for 20 mins until risen, crisp and golden. Serve with mashed potato, peas and gravy.

SAUSAGE TOAD IN THE HOLE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor mix the milk eggs and salt. Add the flour in small amounts and mix each time to avoid lumps. The consistency should be about equal to single cream.
• Using a bit of sunflower oil or the like make sure the inside of your roasting tray is well coated. (I usually use about a 10x6 With rounded corners)
• Place the sausages in the tray and place in the oven at 220C (200 fan assisted) Cook for ten minutes.
• Remove the tray and turn the sausages over. Pour the batter around and between the sauages. You want it fairly level and the depth to be about half-way up the sausages.
• Return to the oven for 15 minutes. The reduce the heat to 200C (180C Fan assisted) for another 20 minutes. Don't open the door until they are finished if you can help it.
• Any left over batter can be saved in the fridge and used for pancakes. If the batter seperates you can just stir it with a spoon.

TOAD IN THE HOLE (SAUSAGES BAKED IN BATTER)

Steps:

• To make the batter in a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, salt and a few grindsings of pepper in the blender jar, and blend at high speed for 2 to 3 seconds. Turn off the machine, scrape down the sides of the jar, and blend again for 40 seconds.
• (To make the batter by hand, beat the eggs and salt with a whisk or a rotary or electric beater until frothy. Slowly add the flour, beating constantly. Then pour in the milk in a thin stream and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy). Refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400*. Place the sausages side by side in a heavy 10 to 12-inch skillet, and prick them once or twice with the tines of a fork. Sprinkle them with 2 Tblsp. of water, cover the pan tightly, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
• Then remove the cover, increase the heat to moderate, and continue to cook, turning the sausages frequently with tongs or a spatula, until the water has completely evaporated and the sausages have begun to brown in their own fat.
• Arrange the sausages in a single layer in a baking dish or tin about 6 by 10 inches and 2 inches deep, and moisten them with 2 Tblsp. of their drippings. Keep them at least and inch apart.
• Then pour the batter over them and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes, or until the pudding has risen over the top of the pan and is crisp and brown. Serve at once.
