TOAD IN THE HOLE
- ½ lb. (2 cups) flour
- ½ teaspoonful salt
- 1 lb. link sausages
- 2 eggs
- 1½ pints (3 cups) milk
Sift the flour and salt into a basin; beat up the eggs well, and after mixing them with the milk, pour gradually on the flour, beating it well with a wooden spoon. When quite smooth, pour it into a well-buttered fireproof dish; skin the sausages and lay them in the batter, and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour.
Pieces of apples, rhubarb, prunes, or pieces of cold meat or fish may be substituted for the sausages.
The fruit requires a little sugar, and sugar must also be served along with the pudding.
