Toad in the Hole

• Serves: 2-3
• Time: 1 hour
• Source: Adapted from Jamie Oliver's batter mix
• Serve with: Mushroom and onion gravy, savoy cabbage, or just ketchup

• 8 sausages
• 285ml milk
• 115g plain flour
• 3 eggs
• pinch salt
• parsley (optional)
• vegetable oil

• Preheat oven to 240C
• Grill sausages until just cooked
• Meanwhile, whisk batter in large bowl (flour, milk, eggs, salt, parsley)
• Move cooked sausages into deep heavy baking dish/dishes with 0.5cm vegetable oil
• Heat in oven until oil smoking (~10 mins)
• Be quick at this bit. Take pans out, pour in batter (sausages still visible), - batter into pans, back into oven
• Don't open oven door until done, around 20-30 minutes. Deep brown and cooked through is good. Important to stop cooking before batter burns at the top, this will be inedible.
