2. Preheat the Pan: Place your baking dish or ovenproof skillet in the oven while it preheats. Adding the batter to a hot pan ensures the Yorkshire pudding rises well and gets that delicious, crispy texture.
3. Batter Consistency: The batter should be smooth and lump-free. Mixing it thoroughly and letting it rest for about 30 minutes can help achieve a perfect texture, making it light and airy when baked.
4. Even Cooking: Make sure the sausages are partially cooked before adding the batter. This ensures they’ll cook completely and evenly when baked with the batter.
5. Avoid Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the pan with too many sausages. Leave enough space for the batter to puff up and expand around the sausages.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to make a delicious Toad in the Hole that’s crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and full of flavor!
