Toad in the Hole

Every time I read the name of this I laugh. It's such a weird name, and frankly doesn't sound very appetizing - but woah! After trying this Toad in the Hole recipe, I really think I've fallen in love with British cooking. I know some people only think of Black Pudding for British food which I must say still grosses me out. But I digress…

I made a very simple, and easy meal for four people to share with this Toad in the Hole, and don't forget you can always add your own twist! I cook with so much whiskey by now, everyone must be assuming that I have some sort of whiskey addiction. (It's just so damn good though!)

Toad in the Hole

• Flour (1 Cup, and 1 Teaspoon)
• Egg
• Milk (200mL)
• Plain Pork Sausages (4-5)
• Vegetable Oil (1 Tablespoon)
• Onion (Diced)
• Butter (2 Tablespoon)
• Brown Sugar (1 Teaspoon)
• Worcestershire Sauce (1 Tablespoon)
• Beef Stock (1/2 Cup)
• Irish Whiskey (1/2 Cup)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix in a large bowl the cup of Flour, Egg, and Milk until the batter has no more lumps.
• Place the Sausages into a glass pan and drizzle the Vegetable Oil over all of the Sausages mixing them well. Place into the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• Carefully pull out the pan from the oven, and pour the batter over all of the Sausages. Place this back into the oven and bake for 40 more minutes. 
• In the meantime sauté the Onion, Butter, and Brown Sugar for five minutes.
• Add in the tablespoon of Flour, Worcestershire Sauce, Beef Stock, and Whiskey - bring to a boil, simmer, and reduce. 
• Plate, Drizzle the Sauce, and Enjoy!

Not The Prettiest Plating, but Delicious!

This is quite a yummy dish, and the bread, sausage, and whiskey sauce go so well together.
