Toad in the Hole Recipe

It's a British classic and a real comfort meal - my Toad in the Hole recipe is really easy to make using your very own home made batter mix.  This is best served with sausages from your local butcher.

1. Firstly preheat the oven to 220c. Pour the Oil into a high sided bread tin and put in the oven until the Oil is piping hot.
2. Meanwhile, separate the Sausages and pierce them a couple of times on each side in order to let the juices run out.
3. Take the tin from the oven and place the Sausages into the tin with the hot Oil. Place back into the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
4. In the meantime, prepare the batter by sifting the Plain Flour into a mixing bowl. Crack in the Egg and pour in the Milk. Whisk thoroughly until smooth then set aside.
5. Remove the Sausages from the oven once they've cooked for 15 minutes then pour approx 2/3 of the batter mixture over the Sausages.
6. Place the Rosemary Sprigs on top and return to the oven.  Cook for between 35-45 minutes, or until the batter has risen and turned golden brown.  Serve and enjoy.

Remember to keep the oven door closed to allow the batter to rise nicely!
