Sausage Toad In The Hole Recipes

TOAD IN THE HOLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of an 8x12 or 9x9 baking dish. You can use a metal or ceramic casserole dish. Place the sausages in the dish in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
• While waiting, whisk flour, eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk in a medium bowl. Gradually mix in the rest of the milk until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Take the sausages out of the oven and pour the batter over them, covering them 3/4 of the way. Place the dish back into the oven and bake for another 35 minutes or until the center has risen and turned golden brown. If the underside seems a little soft - that's okay, that's how it's supposed to be.

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.

TOAD IN THE HOLE

Steps:

• Whisk the batter ingredients together with a pinch of sea salt, and put to one side. I like the batter to go huge so the key thing is to have an appropriately-sized baking tin - the thinner the better - as we need to get the oil smoking hot.
• Put 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil into a baking tin, then place on the middle shelf of your oven at its highest setting (240-250ºC/475ºF/gas 9). Place a larger tray underneath it to catch any oil that overflows from the tin while cooking.
• When the oil is very hot, add the sausages - keep an eye on them and allow them to colour until lightly golden.
• At this point, take the tin out of the oven, being very careful, and pour the batter over the sausages. Throw a couple of sprigs of rosemary into the batter.
• It will bubble and possibly even spit a little, so carefully put the tin back in the oven, and close the door. Don't open it for at least 20 minutes, as Yorkshire puddings can be a bit temperamental when rising. Remove from the oven when golden and crisp.
• For the onion gravy, peel and finely slice the onions and garlic, then simply fry off in the butter on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they go sweet and translucent. You could add a little thyme or rosemary here, if you like. Add the balsamic vinegar and allow it to cook down by half.
• At this point, I do cheat a little and add a stock cube or powder. You can get some good ones in the supermarkets now that aren't full of rubbish. Sprinkle this in and add a little water. Allow to simmer and you'll have a really tasty onion gravy.
• Serve at the table with the Toad in the hole, mashed potatoes, greens and baked beans or maybe a green salad if you're feeling a little guilty!

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a medium well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Put the sausage in the skillet, and bake until almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mustard until blended. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry, just until you have a slightly lumpy thin batter.
• Carefully, pour the batter over the partially cooked sausages and continue to bake until the batter puffs and is crispy, and brown, about 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the Toad-in-the-Hole, hot, in the skillet with more mustard on the side.

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chipolatas in a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with the oil and bake for 15 mins 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 an electric whisk to mix it together, then slowly add the milk, whisking all the time. Leave to stand until the sausages are nice and brown.
• Remove the sausages from the oven - be careful because the fat will be sizzling hot - but if it isn't, put the tin on the hob for a few minutes until it is.
• 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 gravy and your favourite veg.

• Place the sausages (fresh or frozen) in a medium roasting tin or roasting dish (Mine measures 12"x7") and cook in the oven for 10-15 mins until lightly browned and the oil is starting to come out of sausages
• While the sausages are in the oven, prepare the batter.
• Put the flour in to a medium bowl (I don't bother sifting), make a well in the centre using the unbroken egg then crack the egg into it. Add a little of the milk and start to whisk the egg/milk into the flour. Add the milk in bit by bit. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to ensure no lumps.
• Leave to one side.
• After 10-15 mins take the sausages out of the oven, shut the oven door to keep the heat in and quickly pour the batter evenly over the sausages then put straight back in the oven for another 35-45 mins. (Do not open the oven door during this time) When done the Yorkshire will be risen and deep golden all over. (if the pudding starts to brown too quickly during cooking, turn down to 150 degs and leave 5 mins longer)
• Serve cut into portions with mashed or new potatoes, veg and gravy.

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.

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.
