Instructions
Make the Yorkshire Pudding Batter
-
Add the flour to a mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into the bowl, add a splash of the milk and use a balloon whisk to whisk together.
-
Start mixing in the middle of the bowl, slowly incorporating the flour into the eggs and milk.
-
Gradually add the remaining milk and mix until you have a smooth batter. Rest the batter for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Note: If you have an immersion blender you can add all the ingredients into a tall measuring jug and simply blitz until the batter is smooth.
Make the gravy
-
Add butter to a saucepan and stir in the onion once it starts foaming. Add a pinch of salt and sugar and cook, stirring, over low heat for about 10 minutes or until the onions have softened.
-
Sprinkle with the flour and gradually stir in the hot beef stock. Add the Worcestershire sauce and simmer for a few minutes until the gravy has thickened. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Cook the sausages
-
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes. Add the sausages into a silicone liner (or directly into the air fryer) and cook for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Slice the sausages into 3-4 pieces.
Make the Toad in the Hole
-
Place the cake tins in the air fryer and add a little vegetable oil or solid baking fat such as Trex. Preheat for 3 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
-
Add the sausages into the cake tins and pour the batter over them to come halfway up the cake pans.
-
Air Fry for 12-15 minutes, or until the batter is golden and crisp at the edges.
Serve and enjoy!

Serve two mini toad-in-the-hole per person with a good drizzle of the gravy and some peas, green beans and /or mashed potatoes. Pure comfort!
