Toad In The Hole With Mash And Onion Gravy

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Combine your egg[s], most of your cornflour (save a little for later!) and 35g [45g] [60g] flour in a jug, then gradually whisk in 75ml [100ml] [130ml] milk and 25ml [30ml] [40ml] cold water – this is your batter

Put the batter in the fridge to rest

Add your sausages to an oven-proof dish with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil

Put the dish in the oven for 12-15 min or until the sausages are beginning to brown

Whilst the sausages are browning, top, tail, peel and chop your carrot[s] into batons and trim your green beans

Add the carrot batons and green beans to a large piece of tin foil (or two!) with a splash of cold water, a drizzle of olive oil and a grind of black pepper

Scrunch the foil around the veg to form a tightly sealed parcel[s] and add to a baking tray

Once the sausages have browned, carefully pour the rested batter into the dish

Return the dish to the oven along with the veg parcel[s] and cook for 22-25 min, or until the batter is golden, the sausages are cooked through (no pink meat!) and the veg is tender – this is your toad in the hole and steamed veg

Tip: Don't peek! Opening the oven might make your giant Yorkie collapse!

Meanwhile, boil a kettle

Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender

Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry

Return the potatoes to a low heat with a knob of butter and a splash of milk

Season with a grind of black pepper and mash until smooth

Combine the remaining cornflour and beef stock mix in a jug with 1 tsp [2 tsp] [3 tsp] flour

Gradually add 120ml [180ml] [240ml] cold water and stir in your onion marmalade – this is your gravy mix

Put the gravy mix in the microwave for 2 min or until thickened, stirring halfway – this is your onion gravy
