Toad in the Hole

Pork sausages does the heavy lifting here, with all-purpose flour rounding it out. A British dinner that takes 55 minutes, start to finish.

Ingredients

• 8 Pork sausages
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 tbsp Beef dripping
• 2 cups Onion gravy

Steps

1. Brown the sausages in an oven-safe skillet until golden on all sides — they’ll finish cooking in the batter.
2. Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a smooth batter and rest it 20 minutes. This is the same batter as Yorkshire pudding; the toad is just sausages wearing it.
3. Heat the oven to 425°F. Add the dripping to the skillet with the sausages and heat until smoking. Pour the batter around the sausages — it should sizzle on contact.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes without opening the door. The batter puffs up around the sausages like a golden, crisp-edged cloud.
5. Serve immediately with onion gravy poured over. It deflates as it cools, so the table should already be set when it comes out.
