Toad In The Hole Roaring 20s Recipes

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:

• Combine eggs, milk, water, mustard and seasoning and add liquid mixture to flour and whisk vigorously to eliminate any lumps.
• The consistency should resemble pouring cream.
• Rest the batter for more than 15 minutes but no more than a few hours.

• Meanwhile lightly brown the sausages in a fry pan.
• Place sunflower oil into a loaf tin and place it in the oven to preheat until smoking.
• Working briskly, pour the batter into the hot oil (cautin -- it will spit and sizzle).

Steps:

• 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.
