Steps:

• Onion Gravy:.
• Melt butter, and add sliced onions. Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally until golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp flour. Add beef stock, wine, and worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Toad in the Hole:.
• Heat oven to 425* F. Stir together flour, mustard, and pepper to taste. Whisk in milk and eggs to form a batter. Rest for 15 minutes.
• Pour 6 tbsp of the bacon grease in a 9x11 baking dish and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Heat remaining bacon grease in a skillet. Wrap prosciutto around each sausage, and fry until lightly browned all over.
• Pour batter into dish over hot bacon grease. Arrange sausages over batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until done. Serve with the Onion Gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/ gas 7. Sift the flour and a make a well in the centre and crack in the egg. Beat lightly,then gradually pour in half the milk and water, beating all the time to form a smooth,thick batter. Continue for 2 minutes,then stir in the remaining liquid. (The batter can be made several hours ahead of time, although contrary to popular opinion it is not improved by standing.)
• Wrap a bacon rasher around each sausage then put them, spaced apart, in a large roasting tin (preferably metal). Scatter over the onion and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon and sausages are starting to colour and the onion is tinged brown at the edges.
• Remove from the oven and quickly pour the batter over the sausages. Return to the oven for a further 35-40 minutes until the batter is crisp and well risen.
• Meanwhile,make the gravy. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan, add the onion and fry gently for 5 minutes until softened and lightly coloured. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the mustard, Worcestershire or soy sauce and stock and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 15 minutes, then taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the toad with cabbage or broccoli and lashings of gravy.
