According to Wikipedia, “Toad in the Hole is a traditional English dish consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with vegetables and onion gravy. The origin of the name “Toad-in-the-Hole” is often disputed. Many suggestions are that the dish’s resemblance to a toad sticking its head out of a hole provides the dish with its somewhat unusual name.”
Whenever I want to try cooking something new I Google an ingredient I want to use or a type of dish and see what comes up. When I wanted to do something different with Failsafe sausages Toad in the Hole was one of the recipes that came up. I’ve never had it before, let alone cooked it, but it looked like a good option for a cold Autumn day.
I modified a recipe I found on BBC Good Food. The batter is made from wheat flour, but Failsafe Foodie has a Gluten-free, Egg-free and Dairy-free Yorkshire Pudding recipe that could easily be used in this recipe. I made leek gravy instead of onion, and it was so good I know it will be used in other dishes. The left over leek gravy and sausages also made a great pizza topping.
