Well, it's a rare cool rainy night here in Los Angeles CA USA so I made this. It was, I believe you folks in Northern England in the UK would say, bloody brilliant!
Another life saver recipe John! Came out perfectly. Was watching celebrity chefs first and was baffled at how complicated they made it all look so i thought "right, lets see if John has something" and as always your recipe didnt disappoint so thank you!
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well. Here is my latest video recipe. profoodhomemade.com/cheese-onion-potato-pie/
Sometimes the only thing you really want is something traditional and home made. What could be more English than "Toad in the Hole" with crispy roast potatoes and broccoli from the garden? You are a genius. Thank you SO MUCH for your time.
Thanks John, I finally made my own pud mix today instead of shop bought. What a difference. Brought back memories of my mum's cooking 😊 and thank you for sharing your recipes, knowledge and time it's very much appreciated. Best wishes to you & your family ❤
Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't added or answered any of your comments over the last few days as I'm recovering from major surgery, I should be able to get back on track over the next couple of days, thanks for your patients.
I haven't enjoyed lunch this much in such a long time! The pudding rose and baked beautifully, and the onion gravy completed this dish. Brilliant! Thanks once again, John
OMG I am addicted to your recipes. Your delivery of the instructions is PERFECT. It is very clear you are a professional Chef. and how lucky we are to benefit from your years of experience. Where did you work ? Guessing one of the top hotels. Please get better soon, we miss your gentle authoritative voice.
Yes Anne I am a chef, we have our own family catering business I am now retired due to my dodgy health but my son and daughter in law have taken over and are making a great job of it. So I now have time to share some of our recipes, the cheese making is more of a hobby for me.
I doing toad in hole tonight for our evening meal .I have to say all videos I’ve watched on you tube how to do this recipe I have to say yours has got to be the best ever .so today I give you a big 👍🏻and I’m going to enjoy this meal.Great video 😄
Finally got around to trying this one, although with a slight change in that the wife got the ground sausage instead of actual sausages, but I fried it up as ground sausage and put it in anyway. Worked out though, although I'll undercook it next time since the thirty minutes in the over left some of it a bit crisp. The pudding didn't rise up quite as much as it did with the sausages, but that was likely due to the ground sausage covering the bottom. I'm definitely going to mess around with this though as putting stuff into the pudding like this has a lot of potential - some breakfast sausage links and soft boiled eggs, shredded meat, shaved or chipped beef and I'm definitely going to try a pizza version. Great recipe as always - thanks John!
a fave of mine that my nan used to make..proper butcher sausages are the key in my opinion...mustard or horseradish mash with garden peas and onion gravy omg a true staple old school meal i love.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I tried to do this in ramakin dishes yesterday but failed: left it to long on a medium heat and not nearly enough time on high - typically I've had more milk in the batter recipe but used less and had in the dishes instead of small dishes and need to tweak my instructions as I perfect it (all following your recipe and making tweaks to my personal needs like a slower or faster cook time, and dishes to cook it in!) Your recipe is the tastiest I've found and just like I remember enjoying toad in the hole as a youngster when my mum made it, always the best! I'm gonna make this again tomorrow, after I've finished the leftovers from last night and get the dish/portion size right! I must admit to cheating with the onion gravy and using instant stuff, BUT, I'm dead keen to perfect this as you intended and so it all super-tastilly from scratch. Much love to you! Thanks 🙏👍🤜🤗

I've had so many failures at yorkshire pudding and roasties but when I saw this video [and part 1] I had a feeling - lightening the milk mixture with water, not using too much batter mix and not giving it anywhere in the dish to clump into a soggy sponge. So I went for it, and the roasties all to the letter [even making sure of Maris Pipers], our veg of choice was kale. I apparently have made a 'rod-for-my-own-back', it turned out magnificent. True, I must look into some better non-stick trays, but this was just like is says on the video - delicious! Thanks John, your meat pies esp. the beef & onion and the chicken & mushroom are on my list. Btw the onion gravy was to die for!

It’s such a delight watching your videos John. Very much enjoying your retirement. Can’t wait to see more of your videos, I absolutely adore classic british food. What with winter at the door, how about some homely stew? I realise it sounds silly to ask for a stew, but I really do miss the beef stew I had at my late aunt’s in Northamptonshire. Could you also do a video on shepherds pie plz? I always seem to ruin mine and just can’t get it right, for the life of me.
Thanks for the compliments vishwatej, and thank YOU for watching. I certainly have both of those dishes on my vids to do list, comfort food I call them. :) it's a matter of getting round to them, keep an eye out for my creamy chicken and mushroom pie video, should be uploaded today.
Omg I love your channel. Just subscribed it! Your cooking reminds me of my childhood when I used to live in 🇬🇧. Definitely will start making your recipes one by one while being in quarantine. Thanks and stay healthy.
John, i love your videos, you are my go too now. I save a bit of the batter mix to thicken my gravy, i dont like the corn starch, i also grate an onion into the gravy for a fuller flavour, or add a touch of onion powder.
Sounds great! Thank you, and thanks for watching my friend. My latest cake video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Orange Cake profoodhomemade.com/orange-cake/

Thank you so much, I live in Poland but really miss English food and through this Coronavirus time I have started cooking for myself and really enjoyed it, a toad in the hole was something I was fantasizing about. I'm going to send this to a lot of my English teachers over here and tell them that you've got a fantastic accent.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade In fact, I have written a long inspiring story about your Toad in the Hole, video and ordered a quality oven. Then translated it into Polish, Ukrainian and Welsh. The C19 lockdown has been a huge motivation for me. Thank you!

Thank you John, a great recipe, simply described and full of detail, but for someone who has to be careful their fat intake, what can I substitute for the beef dripping? Thanks again for another first class lesson in cookery.
Thanks for watching Wanda, I've personally not found a good substitute for eggs in these Yorkies, you might want to look at some vegan recipes online (there's loads out there), this is a site that gives you a few alternative to eggs in baking if you would care to have a look at. www.healthline.com/nutrition/egg-substitutes
I want to make this Sunday, for my kids and granddaughters. The only trouble is that there is a shortage of English style sausages here in in Tennessee. What would you suggest as a suitable substitute? I have ample excess to beef, pork, and venison, along with breakfast style American link sausage and Kielbasi.
Fantastic, I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend. Thanks for watching. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Blueberry Muffins profoodhomemade.com/blueberry-muffins/
Thanks for the video.. I made your toad recipe last night. Clear and precise instructions. Double the recipe to feed the five thousand! Very nice too. I don't have have non stick pans like you advised and of course it stuck to the bottom like the proverbial. I wonder? Would the pans lined with parchment paper work with batter? Any tips?
no sorry the parchment paper would just get soggy and tear up. Try a little more oil or fat and a heat the tin for longer. My latest bread video recipe. Doughnut Rings.

No problem Jeannie, you should have another email too, saying your order is now complete, Your signed books will be in the post, first class today. thanks again for your support Jeannie 👍😉.
Wow John, that looks so delicious and reminds me of how mother used to oven roast potatoes when I was a boy. The Toad in the Hole looks great, although my doctor would probably flip his wig if I ate it. I'm going to figure out a way to put it together though, and please his goals for my health at the same time. So happy to have watched this. Thank you.
Hello John Just about to make this. Great video and I and my GF are converts to your videos. Quick question if I may? Your ladle/strainer you use for the carrots and broccoli. Where can I get one?
Thanks for watching Dean, much appreciated. Most of the utensils I use in my videos are from my work kitchens, which I usually buy on Amazon. Good luck my friend.
Hi John, another great video. I hope you don't mind me asking but I reckon a man with your experience will be able to help--I prepared a apple and plum cobbler for pudding on Sunday and it was brilliant, the batter for the spounge uses 1.5 cups self raising flour, 1.5 cups milk and 1 cup sugar. Is that much sugar needed for the batter to rise? This recipe for toad in the hole calls for no sugar and I wonder if I can get away with using less sugar or will it affect the batter's ability to rise? Thanks in advance!
Hello, thanks for watching m1as3900, much appreciated. The sugar has nothing to do with the rise, it's the baking powder in the self raising flour that does that part of the recipe that's why it's called "self raising", so you can safely reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, which if you don't mind me saying is a considerable and unnecessary unhealthy amount, I would personally reduce it to at least a quarter cup, it wont affect the rise at all, and don't forget you have the natural sweetness of the fruit, you could add a little more rising agent to lift it a bit more, in this case it'll be 1tsp of baking powder, don't confuse this with baking soda, it has to be baking powder. By the way the rising agent in my Yorkshire pudding or Toad in the hole is the eggs and beaten in air. Hope this helps.

Hey John, another excellent video, now thats the way to make absolutely beautiful Yorkshire puds as Toad in the Hole, one of the best I've ever seen and this comes from a Yorkshire lad, my Nan used to make em like that too, well done. Any news on the Porky Pies yet John? I was hoping to make one or two for Christmas.
Thanks again Keith much appreciated mate, don't think I'll get the porky pie before Christmas mate, I have to go into dock for an op soon so I'm trying to cram as many vids as I can as I'll probably be laid up for 6 to 8 weeks, working on a great and easy chicken and mushroom pie at the moment should be done in a couple of days.

I've had so many failures at yorkshire pudding and roasties but when I saw this video [and part 1] I had a feeling - lightening the milk mixture with water, not using too much batter mix and not giving it anywhere in the dish to clump into a soggy sponge. So I went for it, and the roasties all to the letter [even making sure of Maris Pipers], our veg of choice was kale. I apparently have made a 'rod-for-my-own-back', it turned out magnificent. True, I must look into some better non-stick trays, but this was just like is says on the video - delicious! Thanks John, your meat pies esp. the beef & onion and the chicken & mushroom are on my list. Btw the onion gravy was to die for!
Fantastic, I'm pleased you gave it a try Keith, and I'm pleased it all turned out Great.
john you are a master of your trade . lovely

Oh John, another one of your great recipes for me to try, your cooking is superb, it's just like my Nanna used to cook when I came home from school on a cold day!
Thanks Lynn, much appreciated, my Nana made this too, Ahh!! the smells and the memories.
I love that double boiler.
What a great peek into traditional foods from your side of the pond. I love your videos.
This one I plan to try using plant based substitutes for the animal products.
Think you're talking about a cheese video Lorraine, this is my Toad in the hole video. Let me know which video you mean and I may be able to help.

Delicious recipe John 😋.. Your onion gravy looks wonderful. Thank you 🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊
It’s such a delight watching your videos John. Very much enjoying your retirement. Can’t wait to see more of your videos, I absolutely adore classic british food. What with winter at the door, how about some homely stew? I realise it sounds silly to ask for a stew, but I really do miss the beef stew I had at my late aunt’s in Northamptonshire. Could you also do a video on shepherds pie plz? I always seem to ruin mine and just can’t get it right, for the life of me.
Thanks for the compliments vishwatej, and thank YOU for watching. I certainly have both of those dishes on my vids to do list, comfort food I call them. :) it's a matter of getting round to them, keep an eye out for my creamy chicken and mushroom pie video, should be uploaded today.
Omg I love your channel. Just subscribed it! Your cooking reminds me of my childhood when I used to live in 🇬🇧. Definitely will start making your recipes one by one while being in quarantine. Thanks and stay healthy.

Great recipe and method here, always tastes great.
Thanks again John! ❤

My pleasure Heather.
so cool i have never seen this dish before
Hope you try it, it is very tasty.
John, i love your videos, you are my go too now. I save a bit of the batter mix to thicken my gravy, i dont like the corn starch, i also grate an onion into the gravy for a fuller flavour, or add a touch of onion powder.
Sounds great! Thank you, and thanks for watching my friend. My latest cake video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Orange Cake profoodhomemade.com/orange-cake/

Thank you so much, I live in Poland but really miss English food and through this Coronavirus time I have started cooking for myself and really enjoyed it, a toad in the hole was something I was fantasizing about. I'm going to send this to a lot of my English teachers over here and tell them that you've got a fantastic accent.
Thanks for watching Alan and pleased you're enjoying in the recipes. Toad in the hole is my favourite too.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade In fact, I have written a long inspiring story about your Toad in the Hole, video and ordered a quality oven. Then translated it into Polish, Ukrainian and Welsh. The C19 lockdown has been a huge motivation for me.
Thank you!
I like your steamer. That looks so good! Thank you for another great video!
Thanks again Kendahke M, :) the steamer seems a bit small for me, I'm used to cooking veg for 100+, but yeah it's a great little steamer.
Thanks john. I do find English sausages here in Las Vegas. We have an international market that sells from all over the world. I like making colcannan as well. Maureen
Thanks Maureen, pleased you like the recipe.
Wonderful meal! Totally different from the Toad in the Hole I made in my College days!

Looks great! Now one of those tins would plenty for the wife and I. Can I freeze the other tin? Or what would you recommend?
Yes, absolutely
Thank you John, a great recipe, simply described and full of detail, but for someone who has to be careful their fat intake, what can I substitute for the beef dripping? Thanks again for another first class lesson in cookery.
Suppose you could use vegetable or sunflower oil but not olive, it can't take the heat.
By the way thanks for your support Michael 😉
Never made this,looks delicious
It certainly is my friend 😉.

Your Yorkshire's look WONDERFUL! (Trouble is I'm allergic to egg these days - is there any kind of substitute? 😕 )
Thanks for watching Wanda, I've personally not found a good substitute for eggs in these Yorkies, you might want to look at some vegan recipes online (there's loads out there), this is a site that gives you a few alternative to eggs in baking if you would care to have a look at. www.healthline.com/nutrition/egg-substitutes
Your toad in the hole is fantastic John👌 I'm sure it's decade's ago since I last thought to make this. I definitely need to remedy this😋🤦♀️🏴🇿🇦
One of my customers all time favourites Heather.
Great recipes! The potatoes are wonderful.
Thank you so much 😊
I want to make this Sunday, for my kids and granddaughters. The only trouble is that there is a shortage of English style sausages here in in Tennessee. What would you suggest as a suitable substitute? I have ample excess to beef, pork, and venison, along with breakfast style American link sausage and Kielbasi.
Ron, check with your local butcher, they should have sweet sausages (not sweet Italian).
OK mate enough is enough lol not only is the yorki pud recipe amazing this is yummy even with beef sausage as pork sausages are not available here

I prefer my brocolli steamed fo 4 mins. Great recipe!
Made tonight and have to say big thumbs up 👍🏻hubby loved it all 👍🏻😊was lovely evening meal had by all 👍🏻😊
Great 👍 nice job Vonnie. 😉😋.
Thanks for the video.. I made your toad recipe last night. Clear and precise instructions. Double the recipe to feed the five thousand! Very nice too. I don't have have non stick pans like you advised and of course it stuck to the bottom like the proverbial. I wonder? Would the pans lined with parchment paper work with batter? Any tips?
no sorry the parchment paper would just get soggy and tear up. Try a little more oil or fat and a heat the tin for longer.

4:10 - batter n sausages in the oven together for 30 mins
5:00 - onion gravy, skup this bit if you got it covered and jump to next point:
Wow John, that looks so delicious and reminds me of how mother used to oven roast potatoes when I was a boy. The Toad in the Hole looks great, although my doctor would probably flip his wig if I ate it. I'm going to figure out a way to put it together though, and please his goals for my health at the same time. So happy to have watched this. Thank you.
Thanks again for watching Aladdin, hope you do give it a try, even if you make for someone else, that'll definitely keep you Doc happy 👍😃😉
yummy , going to make it tomorrow x
Fantastic! I'm pleased you will give it a try my friend and I hope it turns out well.
fantastic love this I appreciate everything you do & thanx for telling us about this one I must watch the taters one & them sausages are they Walls?
Thanks again for watching mate, soory can't name certain brands, or I'll end up in ad trouble.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade oo sorry,makes sense yeah ok lovely sausages lolllllllll
Hello John
Just about to make this. Great video and I and my GF are converts to your videos.
Quick question if I may?
Your ladle/strainer you use for the carrots and broccoli. Where can I get one?
Thanks for watching Dean, much appreciated. Most of the utensils I use in my videos are from my work kitchens, which I usually buy on Amazon. Good luck my friend.
That looks so good!
Thanks again chuckroast01
Hi John, another great video. I hope you don't mind me asking but I reckon a man with your experience will be able to help--I prepared a apple and plum cobbler for pudding on Sunday and it was brilliant, the batter for the spounge uses 1.5 cups self raising flour, 1.5 cups milk and 1 cup sugar. Is that much sugar needed for the batter to rise? This recipe for toad in the hole calls for no sugar and I wonder if I can get away with using less sugar or will it affect the batter's ability to rise? Thanks in advance!
Hello, thanks for watching m1as3900, much appreciated. The sugar has nothing to do with the rise, it's the baking powder in the self raising flour that does that part of the recipe that's why it's called "self raising", so you can safely reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, which if you don't mind me saying is a considerable and unnecessary unhealthy amount, I would personally reduce it to at least a quarter cup, it wont affect the rise at all, and don't forget you have the natural sweetness of the fruit, you could add a little more rising agent to lift it a bit more, in this case it'll be 1tsp of baking powder, don't confuse this with baking soda, it has to be baking powder. By the way the rising agent in my Yorkshire pudding or Toad in the hole is the eggs and beaten in air. Hope this helps.

Hey John, another excellent video, now thats the way to make absolutely beautiful Yorkshire puds as Toad in the Hole, one of the best I've ever seen and this comes from a Yorkshire lad, my Nan used to make em like that too, well done. Any news on the Porky Pies yet John? I was hoping to make one or two for Christmas.
Thanks again Keith much appreciated mate, don't think I'll get the porky pie before Christmas mate, I have to go into dock for an op soon so I'm trying to cram as many vids as I can as I'll probably be laid up for 6 to 8 weeks, working on a great and easy chicken and mushroom pie at the moment should be done in a couple of days.
Thanks Keith, not too serious, but I'll be back on the horse soon as I can, cheers mate.
