Toad in the Hole - a scallywog delicacy

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 C flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 C milk
  • 1/4 C canola oil
  • 12-16 oz. pork or beef sausages (6 or 7 large links)

Directions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and pepper. Make a well in the center.
  2. In a 2-cup mixing cup, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour them all at once into the well of the dry ingredients, then whisk until smooth. Cover, and allow the mixture to stand for 30 minutes.
  3. While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  4. Pour the canola oil into a 10 or 12-inch cast iron skillet, then place in the oven for 5 minutes to heat.
  5. Add the sausages once the oil is hot, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning a couple times.
  6. Once the sausages have browned somewhat, pour the batter over the sausages, spreading it to cover them evenly. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
