  Very nice. Made a quick dinner for a Tuesday evening, very quick and nice summer version of a favourite family meal.

  Not bad but I don't think I will be making this again even though hubbie enjoyed it. Mine took quite a bit longer than 20 minutes in the oven.

  Mine also took a little longer than 20 mins. My sis and brother-in-law really rated it, I added a bit of grated parmesan at the end and thought that maybe the batter might benefit from a bit of grated cheese in it too.

  Me and my partner thought this was yummy. I used chives, mint and parsley and I added so cheese to the yorkshire pudding mix. It was a simple quick and tasty supper. Only problem I found was that it was really hard to dish up... ended up looking a bit of a mess on the plate.

  Used half the oil and added some low fat soft cheese to the batter. Also sprinkled some parmesan on for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Kept it low fat and tasty.

  Loved this recipe, my children thought it was wonderful. Made a vegetable gravy and some frozen veg and it made a great weeknight supper that was quick and easy.

  I made this for my girlfriend went down very well! I also found the cooking time wasn't sufficient, so cooked for an extra 10-15 minutes. I used Prosciutto and wrapped it around each piece of Asparagus to add some drama. It worked out really well. try it! I served mine with mixed leaves salad ie. Rocket, Spinach, tomato & olive oil.

  How different, not made this yet but i will. We have chives and parsley growing so will use these. We have a few spears of asparagus still coming through but they are coming to there end so will make up the rest with shop bought. I will also add some parmigiana to the mix before cooking.. Will probably serve with spinach (chard beet home-grown) and new potatoes plus chicken gravy. Oh and im going to do what Reece did and will use Prosciutto. I'll be back to comment on how it went.

  This was delicious!! Made a really light and tasty mid-week summer meal. Will definitely be doing again. Would also serve it as a side to roast chicken. I used prosciutto and it gave a lovely saltiness to the dish, also added parmesan although I don't think it brought much extra to the dish. Yummy! :)

  Is there a reason for using self-raising flour for this recipe? I've always used plain flour for Yorkshire pudding ...

  I have never made toad-in-the-hole myself, but I've tried the traditional one with sausages at a friend's, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw this recipe and thought I'd give it a go. I didn't have self-raising flour, so I used plain flour, adding a pinch each of baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and it worked really well! I also had some left over bacon that had to be used, so I trimmed and friend it, before adding it to the batter - along with salt, pepper and oregano and pouring it over the asparagus - delicious!
