I am making this recipe tonight. I am confused over the two tablespoons of butter plus extra for greasing the pan. Initially I thought I would be adding the butter to the mixture of milk, eggs and flour but not so according to your instructions. Is it correct to just add the butter to the baked sausages in olive oil and some extra butter…… still puzzled, could you clarify. Thanks,
-Larry

Love the toad dinner story. I first heard of Toads in a Hole at the Renissance Pleasure Faire in Novato, Ca in the 1980′s, but they were a sandwich. I make a simple verision of them as a weekend lunch from time to time. Using bratwurst and prepared canned biscuit or crescent dough my version is similar to pigs in a blanket. When feeling creative I’ll add cheese, chives, chopped apple, garlic, onions, bacon, sundried tomatoes, spinach or other lingering fridge items. I just recently found your website and enjoy it much. Thanks for the fun. T.

I’ve wanted to try these for a while, but after I bought the bangers, I lost interest :( Thanks for rekindling it :) (er, ignoring the excrement references…)

Oh my word, I think I can eat that whole tray all by myself! :P

I love one pot meals and I love your updated version of toad in the hole. Very comforting Allen!

My mother had a recipe just like this one- she called it Yorkshire Pudding and Sausage. We still make it in our family… I posted it a while back- makes a great lunch and a super dinner!

I am a huge fan of Toad in the Hole. I’m not sure that I would add butter to the pan though, the batter seems to puff up better if I’m using a fat with a higher smoke point (like canola or lard).
I’m going to try sneaking some cheese in – my husband is English and has some pretty firm ideas about what a Toad in the Hole is and isn’t (although he eats my mom’s vegetarian version quite politely).

This must have been quite the challenge to make sausages look visually appealing in a photo. Good effort.

That is one good looking toad :) One pot meals are the best, although, I agree with you, mine never look good enough to be photographed. Good thing they taste good.

Love this dish already, and I bet the batter is amazing to eat after absorbing all of the juices. Yum!
