Toad in the Hole
There aren’t very many rainy days in Southern California, but when there are, it’s nice to indulge in the weather by baking for breakfast. Today has been wet and gloomy, so it’s the perfect day for a recipe straight out of a place known for gray weather: England.
Toad in the hole has a funny name, but it’s basically just a baked pancake studded with sausage links. Like a pancake, serve it with warm maple syrup, or even fruit preserves or apple sauce.
Toad in the Hole
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a skillet, fry 12 pork sausage links until they are cooked, but not browned completely. Remove the links from the skillet, and pour the grease into a pie plate. Place the links in the pie plate.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir in 2 eggs and 1 cup of milk until thoroughly mixed. Pour the mixture over the sausages.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm. As the toad in the hole cools, it will crack and deflate a little.
Oh, I made a dinner version with smoked sausage.
Yum! That sounds really good.
