Toad in the hole
We just had to feature this on our website, even you its probably a recipe that most know. Its so simple yet so delicious and warming that it deserves a place on any recipe website. Toad in the hole is basically sausages in a yorkshire pudding. How can you possibly go wrong…
Its made by pre-browning sausages, then pouring over yorkshire pudding batter. It all puffs up in the oven and engulfs the sausages. The trickiest part of this is probably the onion gravy (not very tricky if you use ready made gravy). You might notice some asparagus on there. Thats just our take on it and we also added a little extra fresh thyme as it adds a wonderful aroma that goes along with the sausages and batter mix.
