Recipe #13 Toad-in-the-hole

It's a family tradition in my house to eat this on Christmas morning. It makes a great Sunday brunch and would be perfect for Boxing Day or New Years Day.

What you need:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp dried savory
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- 1lb (5) sausages
I personally recommend maple sausages, but your favourite sausages will work just fine.

What to do:
  • In a bowl put the flour, savory, and salt together.
  • Stir
  • Whisk together the milk and eggs
  • Gradually whisk it into the dry ingredients
  • Let that sit for 30 minutes
  • Meanwhile you cook the sausages
  • Stab them with a fork before they go in the oven so that they don't explode
  • Place them in a greased  9x9 baking dish
  • Roast them at 375 F for 25-30 minutes (until golden)
  • Make sure you flip the sausages over once so that they get an even tan
  • When they're done, drain off all but 1 tbsp of fat
  •  Now you want to crank up the heat to 425 F
  • Whisk the batter you've set aside and pour it over the sausages
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed up and golden
Serve right away with apple sauce, or other fruit. Maple syrup too!
Enjoy :)
