It seems so simple, but I have never made one I was happy with

[goosehd]

Why’s that? Is the batter consistency hard to get right and cook thoroughly?

[Giles]

I have no idea

[goosehd]

@Giles I used to think that I couldn't make bread...

[Blueband]

@Giles it looks bloody good.

I’ve (US) always called those egg in the holes and so does Laura (CAN). Must be a UK/N.Amer. thing. What does everybody else call it?

My mother when I was a child called it "ducky wucky".

Team toad-in-a-hole over here but that sausages in batter variety sure does look like something I could get down with.

[ROman]

Agreed^

@Giles said in Breakfast of Champions:

Toad in the hole in the “old world” is sausages in batter

Is it a Yorkshire pudding type batter?

[Brian]

@ROman
Pretty much yes
A big Yorkshire pudding with sausages in it

I love Yorkshire puddings and sausages but for some reason not when together as a toad in the hole

My late grandmother always used to give everyone the option of having Yorkshire puddings as a starter or with their main Sunday roast

Onion and chilli omelette with potato and leek thingies....

[goosehd]

Mash potatoes with cheddar, biscuits with jam, sausage, eggs, beans.

[Giles]

That's going to kill someone.....

[goosehd]

Hoping so...it's going to be a long day

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I hope you got a side of antacids and PPIs with that

[goosehd]

@Giles You do realize that you're going to be going through the same thing in a couple of days...

They are a satisfyingly long way from puberty, teenaged tantrums etc etc ......
