Instructions
- Heat oven to 220C
- Add flour into the large mixing bowl and stir in the mustard powder with a good pinch of salt.
- Make a well in the centre, crack in the egg, then pour in a little milk. Stir with a wooden spoon, gradually incorporating some of the flour, until you have a smooth batter in the well.
- Add a bit more milk and continue stirring until all the milk and flour has been mixed together.
- Pour the batter into a jug and set aside.
- Add the sausages and 1 tbsp of the oil to the baking dish and roast in the hot oven for 15 minutes.
- Take the hot tray from the oven, then quickly pour in the batter – it should sizzle and bubble a little when it first hits the hot fat.
- Put it back into the oven, then bake for 40 mins until the batter is cooked through, well risen and crisp.
- Poke the tip of a knife to the centre to check if it is set and not runny
Gravy
- Soften the onions in the oils and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add a teaspoon of flour and stir constantly to thicken. Add the brown sugar
- Gradually pour in the stock and let it all bubble together for 5 minutes
- Cut the Toad in the hole into slices and serve hot with gravy
