Method

  1. So, guys, to make this incredible treat obviously requires you to have leftovers, which will differ for all of us. I’ve given you the recipe for the pigs in blankets and the batter, and everything else is based on what you’ve got – just don’t overload it.
  2. Start by moving your oven shelves around so you have plenty of space in the middle of the oven for your Yorkshire to grow.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
  4. For the Yorkshire, beat the eggs into the flour with a pinch of sea salt, then gradually whisk in the milk to give you a smooth batter, and pour into a jug.
  5. Wrap half a rasher of bacon around each sausage, poking in a sage leaf, too. Pop on to a baking tray with the potatoes (roughly chop, if you like), balls or pinches of stuffing, and the sprouts.
  6. Pick over the rosemary leaves and place in the top of the oven for 10 minutes.
  7. Pour the sunflower oil into a baking dish (25cm x 30cm) and place in the oven on the shelf underneath, to preheat the oil properly.
  8. Meanwhile, for the gravy, wash, trim and finely slice the leek, then put it into a frying pan on a medium heat with the butter or dripping. Cook for 10 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
  9. Shred in the turkey meat and stir in the flour and cranberry sauce, followed by the stock.
  10. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thick, then taste and season to perfection.
  11. For the next bit, you need to be cool, calm and safe, as you’re working with hot oil, and you want to retain the heat from the oven.
  12. Have your jug of batter ready and two oven gloves or tea towels. Keep the tray of oil in the oven and carefully pull the shelf out a little.Holding it steady, pour in the batter, then gently transfer everything from the tray above into the centre.
  13. Push the shelf back in and keep the door shut for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Yorkshire is puffed up and golden.
  14. Serve the Christmas toad in the hole with the dirty gravy, any extra cranberry sauce, and with a nice fresh slaw on the side.

There are a few things that will make your batter soggy and stop it from rising nicely. You need to make sure your batter is a good consistency – not too thick and not too thin. This recipe seems to work nicely for us. If your batter still isn't rising well it could be that you haven't used enough oil.

Why is my toad in the hole cakey? ›

Our answer. The batter in a toad in the hole should rise up but will be airy and crisp rather than spongy or cakey. The flour should be plain (all-purpose) flour and not self-raising. However it is most likely that the batter isn't quite cooking properly due to the dish.

Why is it called a toad in the hole? ›

Despite popular belief, there is no record of the dish ever being made with toad. The origin of the name is unclear, but it may refer to the way toads wait for their prey in their burrows, with their heads poking out, just as sausages peep through the batter.

Is toad in the hole unhealthy? ›

It is certainly not one of the most healthy dishes, but thanks to a few practice runs and trial and error, I have perfected what I believe to be the best, slimming friendly version of a toad in the hole. The calorie count will vary depending on the sausages you use, so make sure you double check.

Why do you pour boiling water over pork roast? ›

Once you have scored the skin (or taken the already-scored roast from the packaging) place your roast skin side up on a rack in the sink. Pour a cup or more of boiling water over the skin. This will shrink the rind, allowing the incisions to open and enabling the heat, salt, and oil to penetrate deeper.

How to use leftover tough roast? ›

How do you keep toad in the hole from sticking to the bottom? ›

Line the baking dish with parchment paper. Forget the oil. Add some of the sausage drippings to the batter for flavor and then grease the baking dish with shortening. When you add the batter to the baking dish, the shortening will not be displaced by the batter and help prevent the sticking.

Why put toads in the freezer? ›
