Hello Dear Reader,
Happy St. George's Day! We had to have something traditionally English for supper. Pork Sausages, cooked in a thick batter with onion gravy. Commonly known as Toad in the Hole.
You will need:
Oven heated to searingly hot.
1 pack of sausages, cooked in a shallow dish.
1 mug of plain flour,
1 egg,
1 mug of milk
Beat the egg, flour and milk together to form a batter.
Ours was made from gluten free flour, it works much better and is fluffier and rises better with wheat flour. Nonetheless, the batter was crispy around the edges and fluffy in the middle.
Cook for around 20 - 30 minutes.
We had ours with local kale, carrots and frozen peas.
The sausages were gluten free too (Black Farmer's daughter brand and from Morrison's) so they are quite expensive at £3 a pack, although with the fluffy batter and a pile of veggies, a pack would stretch to feed four. We stretched to two large meals and two small ones for our lunches tomorrow.
Over to you Dear Reader. Which traditional English recipes are your favourites? For me, it's anything with sausages.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxxxxxxx
