Any receipe suggestions would be good too. Thx

Answer 1

Yes.
Please do not use real toad as they taste terrible.

Answer 2

yes you can no problem.

recipe: Toad in the Hole with Onion Gravy for Four

To make onion gravy:

1 medium onion
2 tbsp oil
Gravy powder


Chop the onion small and fry gently for half an hour in a couple of tablespoons of oil.

Now make the toad in the hole while the onions are cooking.

Just before the toad in the hole is cooked, make gravy using the gravy powder and water, following the directions on the pack. Add the cooked onions to the gravy and serve.

To make the toad in the hole:


4ozs plain flour
3 eggs
1 pinch salt
1/4 pint milk
sausages for four
5 tbs oil or lard to cook

Put the oven on at the highest setting. Put the sausages in a roasting tin with the oil and put them in the oven while you make the batter.

Mix the flour and salt, break the eggs into the dry mixture. Beat with a fork or whisk until you have a batter about the thickness of double cream. Keep whisking until all flour lumps are gone, about 5-10 mins. Add the milk, whisk for another couple of minutes.

remove the sausages from the oven, pour the batter over them and put straight back into the oven for 30 mins, or until the batter is risen and golden. Serve with onion gravy.

Answer 3

I have personally never tried this before but I have a recipe for it but it calls for pork or turkey so I'm assuming that you can use any type of sausage that you want to use but here is the recipe that I have:

1 pound bulk pork or turkey sausage


2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 medium eggs

2-1/4 cups milk

Fry the sausage in a large iron skillet. You can shape it into patties first if you like, or just smash it into little pieces as you cook it. Be sure to cook it all the way through. While the sausage is frying, get out a bowl. In it combine the flour, salt, eggs and milk. Stir it up really well, so the batter is creamy and smooth. You can combine this batter in the blender if you prefer.

When the sausage is done cooking, drain off most of the fat. You will need a little fat left in the pan to make this dish, so don't drain off all of the fat. Next pour the batter into the hot skillet, over and around the cooked sausage. Bake the mixture at 425° for about 30 to 40 minutes. The bread will be puffed up around the sausage like a giant popover. It will be golden brown and crispy all over. Cut the dish into 8 wedges and serve with applesauce and mixed greens.

Answer 5

Yes, lovely.
It also works well with lamb chops.
or
Lightly sauted some onions and add them to the batter mix for a unique twist.
also
Make sure you heat the pan with a little oil before adding the batter and sausages. It helps the finished dish rise better.

Answer 6

I saw a "posh" toad in the hole at an expensive restaurant, once - it was named after some rich financier (whose name I can't remember!) and instead of sausages they used chunks of fillet steak!
Just came to me - Rothschild!!
Must get a brain transplant!!

Answer 7

Yes, but use plain flour in the batter not self-raising.
Sounds strange,but it works better
