Description

Toad-in-the-hole is a traditional British comfort food featuring succulent pork sausages baked in a mustard-flavored Yorkshire pudding batter. This hearty dish is both simple to prepare and satisfying, perfect for a family meal served with mustard and your favorite vegetables.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Batter

  • 150g plain flour
  • 3 tsp English mustard powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 300ml milk
  • 3 sprigs thyme leaves, stripped

For the Sausages

  • 8 fat pork sausages
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix the plain flour and English mustard powder with a good pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Stir in the stripped thyme leaves for flavor.
  2. Cook the Sausages: Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sausages until they are golden brown all over, ensuring they are partially cooked through and nicely colored.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C/gas mark 7). Transfer the sausages and any remaining oil to the bottom of an ovenproof dish, arranging the sausages evenly with space between them to allow the batter to rise.
  4. Heat the Dish: Place the dish with sausages into the hot oven for 5 minutes to heat thoroughly.
  5. Combine and Bake: Give the batter another quick whisk and carefully pour it into the hot ovenproof dish over the sausages. Immediately return the dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the batter is puffed up, golden brown, and crisp.

Notes

  • Toad-in-the-hole is a classic British comfort dish that is quick and straightforward to prepare, making it perfect for a family dinner.
  • For best results, serve with English mustard and your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes and vegetables.
  • Ensure the ovenproof dish is hot before adding the batter to achieve a light and fluffy rise in the batter.
  • Using fat sausages enhances juiciness and flavor.
