Ingredients

• 120 grams Plain flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 300 milliliters Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
• 6 pieces Pork sausages
• 6 slices Smoked streaky bacon
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
• 1 optional Gravy (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or 425°F. Place a large roasting dish (approximately 9x13 inches) in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the eggs.

Step 3

Gradually whisk the milk into the bowl, combining with the flour and eggs to create a smooth batter. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the sausages and bacon.

Step 4

Wrap each sausage in a slice of smoked streaky bacon.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot roasting dish from the oven and add the olive oil. Swirl it around to coat the base evenly.

Step 6

Place the bacon-wrapped sausages into the hot oil, ensuring some space between each one. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 10 minutes to allow the sausages to start cooking.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and quickly pour the batter evenly over the sausages. Sprinkle fresh thyme, if using, on top.

Step 8

Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the batter has risen and is golden-brown and crisp.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve the Toad in the Hole with hot gravy on the side for the perfect comforting meal.
