Toad in the Hole


Do you remember our trip to Finnebrogue and the rucksack full of sausages that we brought back with us?
Well this is what happened to another pack of them; a simple addition to an old favourite.

The key to a good Toad in the Hole is the temperature of the oven and of the oil when you add the batter.  Our Prospector pans are great for really hot cooking, but please remember that if you are using them on induction, you need to start them on a very low heat and increase the power gradually.

As they are made of 99% pure iron, you will struggle to find anything with better performance on induction stoves.

Good Little Company pork sausages, 2 per person
1 tart apple, I used a Granny Smith
150g plain flour
2 eggs
Milk, approx 200ml
Salt and pepper

Pre-heat the oven to 220ÂșC

Put the flour into a large mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper
Add the eggs and half the milk.  Whisk together.
Add more milk until you have a batter with the consistency of double cream.

Heat 1 dessertspoon of oil in a Prospector pan over a medium heat.
Place the sausages in the pan and brown on all sides.
Quarter the apple and remove the core, there is no need to peel it.
Add to the pan and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.

Turn up the heat and when the oil is smoking hot, pour the batter over the sausage and apples.

Place the pan immediately into the hot oven and cook for 20 minutes until well risen and golden.



Ours was accompanied with carrots, peas and cider gravy.
