🥘Ingredients

For the Batter

140g flour
4 large eggs
200ml milk
100ml water
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper

For the Sausages

8 high-quality pork sausages

For the Oil

2 tbsp vegetable oil

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the baking dish inside to heat up.
2This ensures the dish is hot when you add the oil.
3You will see the oil will be shimmering when it is hot.
4In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and black pepper until you have a smooth batter.
5Let the batter rest while the dish heats.
6The batter will have a thin consistency, like a crepe batter.
7Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and add the vegetable oil.
8Swirl the oil to coat the bottom and sides of the dish.
9The oil should sizzle when it hits the hot baking dish.
10Place the sausages in the hot oil in a single layer.
11Cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausages are browned on all sides.
12The sausages will release some fat, which will help to cook the batter.
13Pour the batter evenly over the sausages.
14Return the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Yorkshire pudding is golden brown and puffed up.
15The batter will rise and create a crispy, golden crust around the sausages.
16Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
17Serve the Toad in the Hole hot, with gravy or your favorite sauce.
18The Yorkshire pudding should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with the sausages cooked through and juicy.
