4-6sausagesI used venison sausages
1tbsplard or vegetable fat such as trex
100gplain flour
pinchsalt
1egglarge
250mlmilk
1tbspbuttermelted
Instructions
Set oven to 210c (Gas mark 7).
Arrange the sausages in a non-stick deep oven dish approx 20 x 20cm. Prick them and dot the lard or vegetable fat on the surface of the dish. Bake in oven for ten minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your batter. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Beat the egg and milk together in a large jug. Tip in the melted butter and stir quickly.
Spoon the flour and salt into the milk mix. Beat in briskly. I give mine a quick whizz with hand blender to remove lumps.
Take the sausages out of the oven and pour in the batter. Return to centre shelf in oven for 30 minutes.
Keep an eye on your toad, cover him with foil if it looks like he is burning. Once 30 minutes are up, turn temperature down to 190c (gas mark 5) and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately - with gravy!
