Toad in the Hole is a traditional and well loved dish; what I am introducing is the most incredible twist on this. It truly is one of my very favourite meals: the perfect concoction of sausages, creamy and moist choux pastry, onions, and mustard. It is called Toad in the Sky, which alludes to the delightfully fluffy and comforting yumminess it offers!
500g sausages (or two per person)
275ml milk
50g unsalted butter
150g of plain flour
1 onion
4 eggs
mustard and seasoning
Method
-Preheat the oven to 200°C
-Grill the sausages with the onion in a pan until lightly browned.
-Heat the milk and butter until boiling
-Beat in the flour all at once, until smooth.
-Now add the eggs gradually (let the mixture cool a little so that the eggs don't begin to cook)
-Butter a dish and place in enough batter to cover the bottom.
-Cut the sausages in half and place them onto the layer of batter with the onions.
-Add in the remaining batter and bake for 40 minutes until golden.
Serve with plenty of vegetables of your choice, and a big dollop of mustard.
If you're in want of a warming and filling meal give this a go and I assure you there will be no turning back!
