Toad in the hole

A British classic. You can use any suasages, but nothing works quite as well as a top quality Cumberland ring. Serve with peas and gravy in a dish.

1 egg

75g of flour

125ml of semi-skimmed milk

1 Cumberland sausage ring

2 tbsp of  oil

Salt and pepper

A roasting tin


Method

Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC and the grill on a high heat.

1. First make the batter – mix the flour, egg and milk together with a little salt and pepper. Either use a belnder or an electric whisk to make a smooth, even batter.

2. Put the sausage under the grill.

3. Add the oil to the roasting tin and place in the oven

4. As soon as the sausage starts to colour, turn it over and cook until it starts to colour.

5. You need to do the next  steps very quickly. Take the roasitng tin out. The oil should be smoking hot.
