Toad In The Hole Roaring 20s Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a medium well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Put the sausage in the skillet, and bake until almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mustard until blended. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry, just until you have a slightly lumpy thin batter.
• Carefully, pour the batter over the partially cooked sausages and continue to bake until the batter puffs and is crispy, and brown, about 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the Toad-in-the-Hole, hot, in the skillet with more mustard on the side.

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.
• Preheat oven to 220C or as hot as it can go.
• 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).
• Arrange the sausages int he batter.
• Transfer the tin into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until puffed and golden.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chipolatas in a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with the oil and bake for 15 mins until browned.
• Meanwhile, make the batter. Tip the flour into a bowl with ½ tsp salt, make a well in the middle and crack the eggs into it. Use an electric whisk to mix it together, then slowly add the milk, whisking all the time. Leave to stand until the sausages are nice and brown.
• Remove the sausages from the oven - be careful because the fat will be sizzling hot - but if it isn't, put the tin on the hob for a few minutes until it is.
• Pour in the batter mix, transfer to the top shelf of the oven, then cook for 25-30 mins, until risen and golden. Serve with gravy and your favourite veg.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 220*C/425*F.
• Pour the sunflower oil into a solid based 9 inch by 6 inch baking tray.
• Throw in the cut up onion and scatter in the sausages.
• Place in the hot oven, on the lowest shelf, for about 15 minutes while you make the batter.
• Using a sieve and holding it up high above the bowl sieve the flour into the bowl. (Doing this from a height forces air into the flour and gives you a lighter batter.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour and using a whisk, whisk in the egg and milk, along with some salt and pepper. As you whisk the flour will be incorporated from the edges and you will end up with a nice lovely thick and smooth batter.
• Whisk in the grainy mustard.
• Take the hot pan of sausages out of the oven and quickly pour the batter in and around the sausages while the fat in the pan is still sizzling.
• Return the pan to the oven, placing it on the highest shelf this time, and continue to bake for 30 minutes longer, until the sausages are nicely browned and the batter has puffed up all nice and brown around them.
• Serve hot, cut into squares with mashed potatoes and onion gravy for a delicious meal!
