Toad in the hole

toad in the hole Apr 13

I had to show you this: toad in the hole made using sausages from our own Tamworth pig with batter made using our own eggs. Alas, the milk and flour were bought at a supermarket but if we were to get goats, half that problem would be solved and I am going to experiment with making batter from mashed potato. Anyway, the meal was first class.

  1. i have never made or ate yorkshire pudding :) and now decided to try. of course, i'll do it with rice flour - do you have an idea, will the taste be much different? and can i use just meat pieces or mince instead of sausages for this toad?

  2. Not sure if the taste will be affected but it's worth a try. You can use meat, mince or sausage meat. Some people actually remove sausage skins before using the sausages in toad in the hole.

  3. i'll try it! at least i would like to know, what "animal" this yorkshire puding is. actually when i was a kid and reading books, where yorkshire pudding was mentioned, i imagined that it has something baked whipped cream like dessert :).

    and your idea of adding mashed potatoes may be good (though it will not raise then well) because sometimes i add mashed potatoes to pancaces togehter with mashed steamed pumpkin/squash and it works very good!
