What is Toad in the Hole?

Toad in the Hole is a classic British recipe of sausages baked in a glorious Yorkshire pudding. Traditionally served with a thick rich gravy.

What makes this Toad in the Hole so good?

  • It’s an easy dinner. Put the sausages in the oven in a large dish, halfway through their cooking you can pour in the batter. That’s it – done!
  • You can make this batter in the blender in 2 minutes.
  • No resting time is needed
  • The Yorkshire pudding rises high with a crisp exterior and a slightly chewy doughy middle.

What gluten-free flours do we need?

  • White Rice Flour – this flour makes your Yorkshire pudding crisp light and airy.
  • Tapioca Flour – we need this flour to give the Yorkshire pudding a little more substance. There is nothing worse than a Yorkshire which is just a hollow puff. Plus the tapioca flour makes it bake up a glorious golden brown.

What else do we need?

  • Sausages – Your Toad in a Hole is only as good as your sausages. Try and get good thick pork ones from your local butcher.
  • Free Range Eggs – use medium eggs and the best quality you can find. Your Yorkshire Pudding will really thank you for it!
  • Milk – you can use whole milk or a non-dairy option if you need to.
  • Dijon Mustard – you can experiment with the mustard. It’s essential for taste and Dijon is the most family friendly. However, honey mustard is something a bit special or English mustard is also great if you’re happy with the extra heat. You could also add an extra teaspoon if you love your mustard.
  • Oil - I shy away from vegetable oil but use a mild and light olive oil for all my general cooking. What also works really great here though is ghee if you have it in for an incredibly buttery taste.

How do you make Gluten-Free Toad in the Hole?

  1. Pour the oil into a large baking dish and drop in the sausages. Roast for 15 minutes.Sausages arranged neatly in a roasting dish
  2. Pour the flours, milk, eggs, Dijon and salt into a blender.Toad in the Hole batter ingredients in the blender
  3. Blend until smooth.Batter for Toad in the Hole in a blender
  4. Pour the batter into the roasting dish and bake for 25 minutes.Batter being poured into a roasting dish full of sausages
  5. The toad in the hole should be crisp and have risen gallantly. Serve immediately.

How many people does this serve?

The recipe below can serve 4 adults who will probably want 2 sausages each. However, we serve it for our family of 6 as the littles only need 1 sausage each.

If you would like your Toad to serve more people then you can add more sausages into the dish (I have made this with up to 12 sausages before).

TIP: Don’t increase the Yorkshire pudding batter though as it won’t cook properly and goes too stodgy.

What do you serve it with?

A good homemade gravy is essential!

You can serve the Toad in the Hole as it is with a generous portion of the Yorkshire pudding if you are serving for 4 people. With lots of freshly steamed vegetables to accompany it.

However you can eek out the portions by also serving it with a side of buttery mashed potato.

Other great side dishes for your Toad in the Hole

  • Gluten-Free Cauliflower Cheese
  • Carrot and Swede Mash
  • Braised Red Cabbage

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes you can. Just substitute the whole milk for any non-dairy milk of your choice.

Can you re-heat it?

You can. Re-heat for 15 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 220C/200 fan. The outside of the Yorkshire Pudding goes even crispier on a second blast in the oven but the interior does get a little drier.

Can I freeze it?

This isn’t a great recipe to freeze, I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I've made this several times now and it's just brilliant. My beloved is a Yorkshireman and he loves it, that's high praise from someone who was weaned on his mother's Yorkshire puddings! Georgina, thanks for making me look so good : )

    Try Besan (chickpea) flour in place of Tapioca, (one of my friends is severely coeliac and intolerant to a few other things (Tapioca being one of them). Besan flour can make Yorkshire puddings by itself as well and it rises almost like wheat flour!

    Does the fact that the batter is gluten free make this Frog in the Hollow perhaps?
