Toad in the Hole

This was my brother's special birthday breakfast request. He found it in the cookbook that I was given for my birthday decided the he had to have it. And so... onward with the weird British food!

3/4 cup flour
pinch of salt
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tbsp oil
8 sausages (or more or less depending on the size)

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Whisk in eggs and 1/2 cup of milk. Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk until smooth. Let stand for 30 min.

Preheat oven to 425. Pour oil into 9x13 pan, turning to coat all sides of the pan. (More oil may be needed, we used 3 tbsp) Add the sausages and turn to coat in the oil. Bake for 5-10 min ntil they are coloured and the fat is hot.

Reduce temperature to 400. Carefully pour the batter around the sausages. Continue baking for another 30 min or until the batter is golden and crisp. Serve hot.

Batter can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.

These were pretty tasty. Sausages in Yorkshire pudding basically. We've decided that these are going to be our new Christmas morning breakfast, replacing sausage rolls from a box which not everyone likes. They were a hit, my brother loved his birthday breakfast and everyone was happy. There were 6 of us and this made the perfect amount of breakfast food, not too stuffing and greasy but not too light that you're hungry in an hour.
