Ingredients

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, eggs, milk and salt into a smooth batter and let it stand while the oven heats to 220°C (200°C fan).
  2. Put the sausages and oil in a metal roasting tin and roast for 10 minutes until starting to brown.
  3. Quickly pour the batter around the sausages, return to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, without opening the door, until risen and golden.
  4. For the gravy, melt the butter and cook the onions for 10 minutes until soft and brown. Stir in the flour, add the stock gradually and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Boil the carrots for 8 minutes, adding the peas for the last 3. Serve the toad in the hole straight from the tin with the gravy.
