 Method |
|
Preheated oven at 200°C/180°C Fan/400°F/Gas Mark 4 for first 25 minutes and then reduced to 160°C/150°C Fan/325°F/Gas Mark 3 for 20 minutes.
-
Grill sausages to drain away some of the fat on a medium temperature setting for 10 minutes. Place in a medium size ovenproof dish.
-
Meanwhile prepare the batter. Heat the oil and water together for 3 - 4 minutes in a large bowl in the microwave until simmering. Stir in the Select Mix and seasonings with a wooden spoon to make a thick smooth paste.
-
For ease place paste in a food processor and gradually pour in the eggs whilst the machine is on a medium speed.
-
Mix on maximum speed for a further 30 seconds. Alternatively beat in the eggs using a wooden spoon.
-
Spoon the thick batter over the sausages.
-
Oven cook for 45 minutes reducing the temperature after 25 minutes.
-
The mixture puffs up and browns quite rapidly but needs the full cooking time to cook through to the centre.
-
Prepare the gravy.
-
Simmer the sliced onions in the oil with 3 x 15ml tablespoons of the water for 5 minutes to soften. Add remaining gravy ingredients and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes stirring constantly until thickened.
-
Divide toad into 4 and serve topped with the gravy and a mixed vegetable selection.
