Method

  1. So, guys, to make this incredible treat obviously requires you to have leftovers, which will differ for all of us. I’ve given you the recipe for the pigs in blankets and the batter, and everything else is based on what you’ve got – just don’t overload it.
  2. Start by moving your oven shelves around so you have plenty of space in the middle of the oven for your Yorkshire to grow.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
  4. For the Yorkshire, beat the eggs into the flour with a pinch of sea salt, then gradually whisk in the milk to give you a smooth batter, and pour into a jug.
  5. Wrap half a rasher of bacon around each sausage, poking in a sage leaf, too. Pop on to a baking tray with the potatoes (roughly chop, if you like), balls or pinches of stuffing, and the sprouts.
  6. Pick over the rosemary leaves and place in the top of the oven for 10 minutes.
  7. Pour the sunflower oil into a baking dish (25cm x 30cm) and place in the oven on the shelf underneath, to preheat the oil properly.
  8. Meanwhile, for the gravy, wash, trim and finely slice the leek, then put it into a frying pan on a medium heat with the butter or dripping. Cook for 10 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
  9. Shred in the turkey meat and stir in the flour and cranberry sauce, followed by the stock.
  10. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thick, then taste and season to perfection.
  11. For the next bit, you need to be cool, calm and safe, as you’re working with hot oil, and you want to retain the heat from the oven.
  12. Have your jug of batter ready and two oven gloves or tea towels. Keep the tray of oil in the oven and carefully pull the shelf out a little.Holding it steady, pour in the batter, then gently transfer everything from the tray above into the centre.
  13. Push the shelf back in and keep the door shut for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Yorkshire is puffed up and golden.
  14. Serve the Christmas toad in the hole with the dirty gravy, any extra cranberry sauce, and with a nice fresh slaw on the side.

FAQs

Can you freeze leftover toad in the hole? ›

Yes you can. Freeze the cooled, portioned toad in the hole wrapped in foil. Reheat from frozen until the sausages are piping hot. Freeze the gravy in a separate container, leaving a small space for expansion, and reheat from frozen or defrosted.

How do you store leftover toad in the hole? ›

If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Toad in the Hole in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.

What is the best tray for toad in the hole? ›

A metal tin with fairly high sides is best because metal is a very efficient conductor of heat and getting the batter hot is essential for a good rise. You can use any oven-safe dish, but ceramic and glass dishes take longer to heat up which might affect the rise of your Yorkshire pudding.

How long does a Toad in the Hole last in the fridge? ›

Store any leftover Toad In The Hole in a lidded container in the fridge until required. (It will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.) To reheat, simply place the cold Toad In The Hole on roasting tray in an oven heated to 220C (200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F) for 10-15 minutes or until piping hot all the way through.

Can you cook Toad in the Hole and reheat? ›

It's best served right away, but you can make it ahead, or save leftovers and reheat later. Cook, then quickly cool, cover and refrigerate the toad in the hole. Place in the oven covered in foil at 180C/350F for 15-20 minutes, until the sausages are piping hot throughout.

Why is my Toad in the Hole soggy? ›

There are a few things that will make your batter soggy and stop it from rising nicely. You need to make sure your batter is a good consistency – not too thick and not too thin. This recipe seems to work nicely for us. If your batter still isn't rising well it could be that you haven't used enough oil.

Why does my Toad in the Hole always stick? ›

If the dish did not fully cook, it will stick. Bake until it dries and starts browning. Rub the oil on the baking dish before heating it. Line the baking dish with parchment paper.

What cut of meat is used in a Toad in the Hole? ›

Toad in the hole is a traditional English dish consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with onion gravy and vegetables. Historically, the dish has also been prepared using other meats, such as rump steak and lamb's kidney.

Why put toads in the freezer? ›

Now put the frog/toad in a plastic container and place it in your freezer for 3 days. This is a humane way to kill amphibians because their bodies go into a state of torpor (metabolism slows way down) -- just as they do in cold weather outside.

How do you freeze toads? ›

Place the container(s) in the fridge at 4°C for 12 hours, and then after ensuring the toad is not moving (it is effectively anaesthetised), transferring it to a freezer (-20°C) for at least 24 hours to painlessly kill the toad.
