Mini Toad in the Hole

 

12 uncooked cocktail sausages

3/4cup plus 1 T. all-purpose flour

2 eggs

3/4 cup whole milk

sunflower oil, for greasing

 

Whisk the flour, eggs and milk together in a large bowl with an electric hand-held whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to a jug. Let rest at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and brush a 12-hole muffin pan with oil. Put the sausages on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until nearly cooked and very lightly golden. Put the greased pan in the oven for 10 minutes to get very hot, then remove it and immediately pour the batter mixture into the holes, until they are each half-filled with batter. Put a cocktail sausage in the middle of each hole filled with batter, put back in the oven and cook for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown.
