Today we're making toad-in-the-hole, crispy Yorkshire pudding with tender
sausages served with a rich red onion gravy.
Welcome to our kitchen where we show you how to make delicious family-friendly
recipes. Toad-in-the-hole is a British classic that's been served to families
for over 200 years it's a simple dish of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding
batter and we're going to start with the batter.
I've got 140 grams or a cup plus a tablespoon of plain all-purpose flour in
a jug and I'm going to make a well in the center add four medium eggs to the
flour.
Stir together with a balloon whisk bringing the flour into the centre with
the eggs bit by bit.
Add in two hundred mill or three quarters of a cup plus a
tablespoon of semi-skimmed half fat milk and stir with a whisk until combined
it's fine if it's a little bit lumpy at this stage.
Now we're going to place in
the fridge to rest for an hour or up to overnight. If you're gonna place it in the
fridge overnight then cover it first. It's really important to let the batter
rest for an hour to allow those flour granules to swell so you get a lovely
crisp and light Yorkshire pudding.
I've got my oven preheating to 220 C or 425 F and now
we're going to start cooking the sausages. I've got eight good-quality pork
sausages here I'm going to add them all into the baking tin.
I'm going to drizzle
them with two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Place in the oven and cook for 15
to 20 minutes turning occasionally until lightly browned all over.
Now take the Yorkshire pudding batter out of the fridge and stir in a quarter
a teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Now we're going to add that Yorkshire pudding batter to the sausages pouring it
in really carefully because the oil will be really hot we're going to pour the
batter all the way around sausages.
Close the oven door immediately and cook for 25 to 35 minutes until risen and
golden.
While thats cooking we're going to make our red onion gravy. So we need
to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the
pan over a medium heat.
Add two thinly sliced red onions and 2 teaspoons of
light brown sugar to the frying pan and turn the heat down to medium-low.
Cook the onions for about 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally until they start
to caramelize. Now the onions are caramelized we want to sprinkle over 2
tablespoons of plain all-purpose flour and stir to coat the onions cook for 2
minutes to cook out the taste of the flour.
Add in the hot beef stock while
stirring all the time until the gravy thickens.
Add a splash of Worcester sauce and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the toad-in-the-hole with that lovely red onion gravy. There you go
