    Same as Toad in the Hole..it's other name.
    Make a Yorkshire Pudding Mix also known as Batter Pudding... first of all
    Ingredients
    Plain Flour 100 grams
    1 or 2 eggs (I use 2)
    275 ml of Milk or half milk and half water

    sieve flour and salt together
    make a well in the centre and add the egg (s)
    add some of the liquid and beat
    add the rest and beat so you seem bubbles
    put in fridge as needs to be cold before cooking
    Approx 6 chipolatas sausages or smallish sausages
    oven on so can cook the sausages in the oven to save fuel say 10 minutes before the batter
    now heat on a high heat a baking pan or roasting pan with 2 tablespoons of oil.. needs to be really hot so the batter rises when added. You can add the sausages to the pan first and then the batter but lately I have cooked them apart and just added the sausages on top of the cooked batter when serving.. it seems to rise so much better that way although it does not look so good on the serving plates
    you can add herbs to the batter mix if you prefer...
    Potatoes boiled and any veggies you choose...
    A rich gravy for us
    Oxo cube and gravy powder a hint of Marmite as well (Yeast Extract)
    or Just a gravy choice that you prefer....
    the batter can be used without any herbs for pancakes and crepes.
    Bon appetit

    Since some mentioned serving toads, I will mention serving up a frogmore stew to my new neighbors. It's a shrimp boil basically. We did not use the crawfish because one of his daughters is challenged by her hands. So tail-on shrimp, fresh corn, carrots, red potato halves, andoullie and kielbasa sausage, garlic, onion, and Old Bay seasoning boiled up and served with garlic bread. Sides were Salad and blackberry cobbler from my garden and cold watermelon and pineapple.

    Yesterday had baked breaded chicken breast with oven chips and baked beans.

    Today it's salad with breaded plaice fillet with baked potato that's done in the microwave, grated beetroot, sweetcorn, a bit of pickled cabbage and a pickled onion with a small piece of cheese. Hubby has 3 slices of wholemeal bread with his.

    Starving now (slang is starving marving in our house after Hank Marvin of the Shadows) after reading about all your different foods...straight out early start no breckie here.. for yet another important garden mower called a push pull type here... could not find the one we wanted. So out again tomorrow to another town where they have least 3 garden equipment stores..called Motor Culture by the way. They show online they have them but when you get there..not one in sight.
