Ingredients
- 8 pork sausages

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the sausages in a roasting pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

- Once cooked, remove the Toad in the Hole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with gravy and vegetables.
Toad in the Hole is a classic British dish consisting of sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding batter. Its origins date back to the 18th century, with the first known recipe appearing in a cookbook by Hannah Glasse in 1747. The name "Toad in the Hole" is said to have originated as a whimsical reference to the sausages peeking out of the batter, resembling toads poking their heads out of holes. Today, Toad in the Hole is a beloved comfort food in the UK, often served with onion gravy and vegetables. Chefs and home cooks alike take pride in perfecting the crispy, golden-brown batter and succulent sausages. While the dish is widely available in British pubs and traditional restaurants, some establishments are renowned for their exceptional Toad in the Hole, such as The Guinea Grill in London or The Angel Inn in Yorkshire. The key to a delicious Toad in the Hole lies in achieving a light, airy batter and using high-quality sausages with a good balance of flavors. For a twist on the classic recipe, some chefs incorporate different types of sausages, such as Cumberland or Lincolnshire, to add depth to the dish. Additionally, vegetarian versions using meat-free sausages have gained popularity, offering a satisfying alternative for non-meat eaters. In recent years, Toad in the Hole has also made its way onto the menus of modern gastropubs and innovative eateries, where chefs experiment with creative variations, such as adding herbs or spices to the batter or serving it with unconventional accompaniments. Whether enjoyed in a traditional setting or a contemporary dining establishment, Toad in the Hole continues to be a timeless British favorite, cherished for its hearty, comforting appeal.
