Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Tip the onions into a small shallow non-stick tin (about 23x30cm/ 9x12in). Arrange the sausages on top of the onions, then add the oil and roast for 20 minutes.

  • step 2

    While they are roasting, make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, drop the egg in to the centre and beat in the milk a little at a time until it makes a smooth batter. Stir in the mustard and thyme and season.

  • step 3

    Pour the batter quickly into the tin and return to the oven for 40 minutes until the batter is risen and golden. Serve with steamed carrots and cabbage.

Crisp on the outside watery on the inside. Best off avoiding this recipe. Not sure why this recipe has twice as much milk and half as much flour as the other toad in the hole recipes on BBC Good Food.

And sausages were more than cooked after being in the oven for a total of 1 hour, ( sausages do not take an hour to cook) When I was mixing the batter mix I could tell it wasn't right and…

Followed recipe to the letter and after almost an hour it was overcooked on top and still very undercooked underneath. Ended up having to turn it upside down and put it back in for another 15 minutes. Maybe should have read earlier comments

I used quorn sausages which don't require as much cooking, so I put the onions in for 15 minutes before adding the sausages for another 5, then following the recipe as usual. It turned out great, best meal I (a student!) have ever managed to make!

We love this recipe always comes out nice and crispy on the outside and stodgy on the inside just the way we like it! We use Quorn sausages and add mustard powder instead but it really does taste amazing even the kids enjoy it!
