Cooking: GF toad in the hole

Made a gluten free toad in the hole last night which was rather tasty!

Toad in the hole” does sound a bit odd – in the UK its sausages in a batter which rises. According to my US colleagues, they’d be expecting a fried piece of bread with a hole in the middle, into which an egg is broken into!

This is the UK version – although I’ve been known to make such bread + egg things in the past as they’re quite tasty. So long as you leave the egg yolk runny!


Ingredients

  • 6x sausages
    I used Heck’s 97% pork sausages for this
  • 300g Gluten free self raising flour
    I used Doves Farm Gluten free white self raising flour for this – its a blend of rice, potato, tapioca, maize & buckwheat flours, combined with some raising agents and xanthan gum so it’ll hold its structure
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 200ml water
  • 2x eggs
  • 3tbsp olive oil

Method

Cook the sausages in a hot oven to pre-brown them – I cooked them for 20 minutes 200C / 400F / GM6, turning them once.

Mix all the other ingredients – with the exception of the olive oil – together, getting as much air into the mixture you can.

Add the olive to a large oven dish and pre-heat it for 10 minutes at 220C / 450F / GM8.

Once it is nice and hot, add the batter mixture to it. Then add the sausages.

Cook for 35-40 minutes at 220C / 450F / GM8, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

End result

This worked well and was tasty!

I think I could get away with halving the amount of batter used – as you can probably tell from the picture below, there wasn’t space for all the batter in the dish I was intending to use!

It did rise quite well though!
