Toad in the hole

When it's been a cold, wet, windy typically British winter day and evening and all you want is some comfort food to warm your insides up, toad in the hole is definitely one of my all time favourites to  make.
It's  so simple, but so so delicious, and an added bonus is that it all cooks in one pan  which means less to wash up - win win
I served it with my red onion gravy and some buttery mash- and it definitely hot the spot.

To serve 4 people you will need :
8 sausages ( i used shezan halal lamb ones )
30g butter
50ml oil
125g plain flour
A good pinch of salt and pepper
2 large eggs
80ml milk
40 ml cold water

• Start by preheating your oven to 210c ( fan)
• Put  the flour, salt and pepper into a bowl, make a well in the centre and crack the eggs into the well
• Whisk the eggs with the flour to form a thick batter. Slowly add in the milk & continue to whisk and you should have a smooth pourable batter. Place in the fridge to rest
• Place the sausages along with the butter and oil into a roasting dish - mine was about 25x30cm , cook for about 15 minutes till just cooked.
• Take the batter out of the fridge, pour in the cold water, and whisk together.
• Remove the sausages from the oven & pour in all the batter quickly but carefully
• Place back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the yorkshire pudding is crisp and golden, and serve
