Mini Toad in the Hole

 

My kids just love when their dad makes toad in the hole, and I’m always looking for new things to put in their lunchboxes, so this recipe was perfect! I found it in one of Annabel Karmel’s cookbooks, but it is also on her website. These are super easy to make, and while the kids would prefer them warm from the oven rather than in a lunchbox, I recommend these. I ended up making a double batch and freezing the excess, just to use up the extra sausage in the package. (I seriously considering eating all of them warm, though, they were so good!) 

12 cocktail sausages 

100 g (¾ cup + 1 Tbsp.) all-purpose flour 

2 eggs 

¾ cup lactose-free whole milk 

sunflower oil, for greasing 

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. 

Put the sausages onto a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until nearly cooked and very lightly golden. 

Mix the flour, eggs, and milk together in a large bowl until smooth using an electric whisk. 

Brush a 12-hole muffin tin with oil. Put in the oven for 10 minutes to get very hot. 

Immediately put the batter mixture halfway up the holes in the tin. Put a sausage in the middle of each batter-filled hole. Put in the oven for 15 minutes, until well risen and golden brown.
