Mums Toad in the Hole

Put the oven on at 220C and put the sausages and oil in a large enamel/metal dish. Don't use a glass dish as although it looks pretty doesn't conduct the heat well enough to get the wonderful batter rise. Bake the sausages in the oven for 15 minutes.

While they are cooking, put the eggs, flour, salt and milk in the food processor and blitz to a smooth batter. Alternatively whisk by hand or electric whisk. I like to add some thyme at this point, but that is optional.

When the sausages are ready, pour the batter all over the sausages and put back in the oven for 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven) until crisp and golden.

Serve with carrots, peas and maybe even mashed potatoes.
