4 servings
60 minutes
A classic British snack that is prepared in almost every pub. Behind the funny name "Toad in the Hole" are pork sausages, covered in batter and sent to the oven. The history of this dish goes back to the 17th century and, according to legend, in the birthplace of the recipe in Yorkshire, local poor people used pigeons instead of pork during hungry times. Nowadays, you can use beef or lamb sausages instead of pork - the essence of the recipe will not change dramatically.
