TOAD IN THE HOLE
American Toad in a hole is one of the first recipes I had my children prepare when they were learning to cook. Much easier than the European version, this fun egg-in-a-hole is sure to please. My "little ones" are now grown (and have advanced to more difficult recipes!), but this continues to be a traditional standby in my home and theirs. -Ruth Lechleiter, Breckenridge, Minnesota

TOAD IN THE HOLE
You know that something with a name like this is going to be good and this truly is! The traditional recipe itself is very simple but the method for making it is not, so I developed this "cold oven cheater method" which is much safer and easier. The end result is an amazing flavor and texture combination of fatty sausage links, crispy, puffed, and tender Yorkshire pudding, and delicious onion gravy. And the gravy is so good you'll want to eat it on just about anything (and everything!)

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.

TOAD IN THE HOLE
I had sausages that needed using so I made this and froze it, it was my first time making toad in the hole and it is easily adapted to gluten free by using gf flour and a tsp xanthum gum. This was really tasty and very simple, although i would recomend messing around a bit with the batter to get it right, my aunty did that part for me so i am unsur eof the exact quantities. i am also a little unsure of the temperatures as i got it out of a aga cookbook as i have an aga, but i happen to know that the aga is at 180 degrees c if that helps

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE
This came from one of my favorite cookbooks, "A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price. The ingredients are nearly identical to other recipes listed here but the preparation, cooking, and presentation techniques are different. They make great appetizers, even at room temperature or just gobble them around the stove.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausages: Use good quality sausages that are well-seasoned and have a high meat content. This will ensure that the sausages are flavorful and juicy.
- Sear the sausages before baking: Searing the sausages before baking helps to develop their flavor and prevent them from drying out in the oven.
- Use a deep baking dish: A deep baking dish will help to ensure that the sausages are evenly cooked and that the batter is not too shallow.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the toad in the hole until the sausages are cooked through and the batter is golden brown: This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the toad in the hole immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Toad in the hole is a classic British dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make sure that your toad in the hole is perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give toad in the hole a try!
