Sausage Toad In The Hole Recipes

Steps:

• Make the batter: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 7. Tip 210g plain flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in 1 tsp English mustard powder with a good pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, crack in 4 eggs, then pour in a little from 400ml milk. Whisk the mixture, gradually incorporating some of the flour, until you have a smooth batter in the well. Now add a bit more milk and continue stirring until all the milk and flour has been mixed together.
• The batter is ready: You should now have a smooth, lump-free batter that is the consistency of double cream. Stir in the leaves from 4 thyme sprigs, then tip the batter back into the jug you measured your milk in, for easier pouring later on. Use scissors to snip the links between 8 plain pork sausages, then drop them into a 20 x 30cm roasting tin. Add 1 tbsp sunflower oil, tossing the sausages in it to thoroughly coat the base of the tin, then roast in the oven for 15 mins.
• Cook the batter: Take the hot tray from the oven, then quickly pour in the batter - it should sizzle and bubble a little when it first hits the hot fat. Put it back into the oven, then bake for 40 mins until the batter is cooked through, well risen and crisp. Check it after 40 minutes, cover loosely with foil if it is browning too much. If you poke the tip of a knife into the batter in the middle of the tray it should be set, not sticky or runny.
• Make the gravy: Soften 2 sliced onions with 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan for about 20 mins, stirring often, until they are golden brown. Sprinkle in 1 tsp soft brown sugar for the final 5 mins. Add a spoonful of plain flour, then cook, constantly stirring, for 2 mins, so it coats the onions and there is no dry flour left. Gradually pour in 500ml beef stock, stirring well to make a smooth sauce. Bubble for 4-5 mins to thicken, then season. Cut the toad-in-the-hole into large wedges and serve with the gravy spooned over.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, mustard powder, eggs and milk with a good pinch of salt until smooth. Leave to rest for at least 30 mins.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small pan. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-15 mins until really soft. Meanwhile, make up the stuffing following pack instructions, adding the sage. Scoop out a quarter of the onions and add these to the stuffing mixture, too - leave the rest in the pan for the gravy. Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8.
• Shape the stuffing into 8 walnut-sized balls. Pour the remaining oil into a large roasting tin or dish and brush it all over the bottom and sides. Add the sausages and stuffing balls, and cook for 15 mins.
• Remove the tin from the oven, loosen the sausages and stuffing from the bottom of the tin if they are sticking, then pour over the rested batter. Return the tin to the oven on a middle-high shelf, but give it space to rise. Bake for 35-40 mins until puffed and golden - don't be tempted to open the oven door any earlier or the batter might sink.
• While the toad-in-the-hole is cooking, make the gravy. Add the flour, onion chutney and Marmite to the onion pan and mix to a paste. Cook for 2 mins until bubbling, then pour in the stock, bit by bit, stirring continuously so it doesn't go lumpy. Bubble for 5 mins and season if needed. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• KIDS the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS the rest is for you. Cut the sausages with scissors. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. If the sausages are linked, get your child to use a pair of scissors to cut them into single sausages.
• Count the sausages. Place 2 sausages in each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin and go through all the maths this involves - two times table, counting up in twos etc. Drizzle each set of sausages with a little oil. Children from about seven upwards can now place the tin in the oven for 20 mins until the sausages have browned, getting a grown-up to turn the sausages halfway through.
• Crack some eggs. Over a small bowl, get the child to hold the egg in one hand, then tap it with a cutlery knife until it just cracks. Then get them to put down the knife and open the egg into the small bowl. You can now check for any bits of shell before tipping it into a larger bowl. Repeat with all the eggs - this should keep them busy.
• Make a batter. Get the child to measure 150ml flour in a measuring jug and tip into a bowl with the mustard powder. Make a well in the centre and beat in the eggs. Measure the milk.
• Pour in the milk. Gradually pour the milk into the batter - get the child to whisk well between each addition - until you have a mix that is the consistency of double cream. Season. Pour the batter back into the jug.
• Sizzle the batter. Remove the sausages from the oven and place on a heatproof surface. Very carefully, and making sure that they don't touch the hot tin, get the child to pour the batter over the sausages and throw a sprig of rosemary into each hole. Only get children aged seven upwards to do this. A grown-up needs to place them back in the oven.
• Cook in the oven. Leave the batter to cook for 15 mins undisturbed. But if your oven has a clear glass door, let the kids watch the batter rise. Remove the tin from the oven. Leave to cool for a few mins, then serve with gravy, mash and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
• Mix flour, egg (beaten), salt, milk and herbs to make batter.
• I usually use basil and bay but it is up to you.
• If the sausage is peppery or has a strong sage flavor you may want to use less herbs in the batter.
• Cook sausage until done either in skillet or in a flameproof casserole dish on stove.
• Place sausage in casserole dish (if not already there) and add batter.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until bread rises.

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
• Add beaten egg, along with some of the milk; beat for a minute or two.
• Add remaining milk.
• Place the batter mixture into the refrigerator for an hour or so to get really cold.
• Preheat oven 420 degrees Fahrenheit (210 degrees Celsius).
• Use a medium roasting dish and place oil in the pan.
• Heat in the oven until the oil is really hot; if you flick a spot or two of water in the oil and it really sizzles then it is hot enough.
• Quickly pour in all the batter and add the sausages, spaced a bit apart.
• Cook for 30 to 40 minutes .
• Lovely served with fresh vegetables of your choice and a gravy. I often freeze gravy to use with this type of dish.

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.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425 (220 C/ Gas 7).
• Place butter and sausages in a 10" x 12" roasting pan.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until they are done to your liking.
• Sift the flour into a bowl.
• Break in the egg.
• Gradually add half the milk, beating to form a smooth batter.
• Pour in the remaining milk and beat until quite smooth.
• Alternatively, add the flour, milk and egg to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Pour the batter into the roasting pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the batter is well risen and golden.
