Ingredients

  • 70 g plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml full-fat milk
  • 4 turkey sausages
  • 6 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 Fahrenheit).
  • Cut up the sausages in small pieces enough to fit into a muffin tin (or yorkshire pudding tin).
  • Add the oil evenly between the muffin holes, then bake the sausages for about 10-15 minutes or until the are fully cooked.
  • In a bowl, sift the flour, add the eggs and salt, and whisk well.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps forming.
  • When the sausages are done, remove them from the tin, and add more oil if needed, it should be about one tablespoon of oil in each muffin hole.
  • If more oil is added, pop the tin back in the oven for a few minutes to make sure the oil is smoking hot.
  • Divide the batter evenly between each muffin hole, about 2 tablespoons of batter for each, then top with the sausages and return to the oven.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the mini toads are puffed up and golden, but do not open the oven sooner than 15 minutes, so they can bake undisturbed.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you'd like to see the ingredients listed in cups and ounces, please check the US Customary Link.
  • Also, the amount of ingredients changes depending on the servings, so click on the number listed to change it to the number you prefer.
  • You can use any kind of sausages, cocktail sausages being particularly great, given the right size for the muffin or yorkshire pudding tin (if you have one).
  • But I would suggest you use raw sausages and cook them before you get the batter in.  In this way you know the oven is well heated, and the tin is very hot, to make sure the individual toad in the whole gets baked to perfection. The oil has to be sizzling hot when the batter is poured over, so the puddings can puff up nicely.
  • And a lump-free batter is a must, so it's best to use a whisk to mix the batter properly, we need a smooth, runny batter. The oven temperature must be high, 220 degrees Celsius or 428 degrees Fahrenheit, and they should be ready in about 15 minutes.
  • DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN BEFORE THAT TIME, otherwise they will not puff up, or if they do, they will soon collapse. Once you follow these steps, you'll be sure to get perfect puddings every single time.
