Toad in the hole

Unread post by def_con5 »

This is a rather well known recipe in the UK. I found it on a youtube channel called "Tasting History". Anyway, if you are a foodie check out the channel.

It's basically a meat (beef in Scotland, sausage in the UK) within a Yorkshire pudding.
We've tried to make it twice, and it ain't too good. Basically, the batter doesn't rise and get fluffy.
The only difference I can think of is my wife uses an electric mixer, instead of whisking all the ingredients.

Hope there are some Toad in the Hole fans who can help,
Thanks.

Its sounds nasty, quite frankly.... it not rising is probably her using an electric mixer. It is being overmixed and that takes out the air. She should gently fold the ingredients together.

My grandmother made this for me when I was a kid..

For ease I will tell you the fast method.

Buy puff pastry dough. Thaw it and cut it into sausage width.

Cook the sausage and save the drippings.

Put a little of the drippings on a cookie sheet. Wrap the sausages with the puff pastry make sure the sausage is greasy.

Lay the pastry on the cookie sheet and bake till it is.barely brown. If you want, baste the pastry with grease as they are cooking.

This is a good approximation of toad in the hole without actually making your own Yorkshire pudding.
