Toad in the Hole with Onion Gravy | Yorkshire Pudding and Sausages

  • Toad in the hole is one of those British dishes with a totally misleading name. It's Yorkshire pudding batter baked with sausages embedded in it. In this video, I also show you how to make a delicious onion gravy. Toad in the hole is a very old dish, but it didn't always include sausages - any cheap bits of meat would be used, but not actual toads or frogs. The idea of toad in the hole is to make a cheap meal and make the most of whatever meat you have. Toad in the hole is not often seen outside the home these days - it's been replaced by giant Yorkshire puddings with meat, veg and gravy inside. However, homemade toad in the hole is very cheap and easy to make, as well as being very tasty..
    The written recipe is here on my website: keefcooks.com/b...

    You know, I've been re watching Rick Stein's food heroes series the last couple of weeks, and it's got me fired up again about the lack of respect for British food. I mean most chain pubs these days have half the menu dedicated to burgers and curry and the other half for lasagne and - as you know - hunters bloody chicken! Not to bash them of course, because they are good, and I do like these dishes. I don't speak for everyone of course but actually, if I could go into a pub and order toad in the hole with some good home made onion gravy, buttery mashed potato and just some English garden peas, that would be amazing! British food is good stuff, and I defy anyone not to like it if it's made properly.

    You have another video for Toad in the Hole that I used a couple of years ago. It was slightly different than you made in this video as it required wine to make the gravy. I made it for a British neighbor who moved to our neighborhood here in the U.S. He said it was like being back home again. As an American, I enjoyed it so much, the dish has become a staple dish in my home. Very comforting food. However, I enjoy onions so much that I think I prefer the gravy you made for this latest video. Looking forward to trying it.

    Just finished eating this and have to say it is the best toad I have ever eaten. Never had much luck with Yorkshire pudding before as it either comes out flat and soggy or burnt and too crisp.

    I lived in the UK for many years and my dad was from Scotland. I was known for my onion gravy because I added a teaspoon of grainy mustard and if I didn't have any I used Dijon mustard. People loved it but couldn't make out that background flavor. It does add another level of flavor to the meal. :-)

    I really enjoy toad in the hole. My dear Ole Nan used to boil the sausages for 5 mins before cooking them in the frying pan. She also used to push a kebab stick through the middle (lengthways) before frying to stop them from trying to bend so that they cooked evenly. She also added a drop of vinegar to her batter mix. Funny thing is I watched the tv cook Brian Turner only a couple of months ago and he did it exactly the same as my dear Ole Nan.
    Nice one Keef.

    It looks quite tasty; toad in the hole is one English dish I've long wanted to try. Never have I seen it on a menu in America, however, even at Brit pubs. Making your own broth seems unnecessary, as it's usually just one of several (or many other ingredients). No shame in using the cubes, I say! Especially when the onion gravy is as savory looking as that. And Mrs Keef Cooks is rocking the orange, kudos to her.

    I've found that poultry and rabbit stock is easy enough to make at home, you can just save bones from past meals in a "stockpile" bag in your freezer and then make a day of boiling them when the bag gets too big. If reduced well in the pot, you can freeze it in cubes and deploy them as needed for sauces and soups. If you're very worried about mixing up seasonings and animals, it doesn't work so well, but I rarely find it to be a problem. The other day i made toad in the hole served with killer onion and veggie gravy, the latter courtesy of my stock cubes!

    • @Keefcooks
      @Keefcooks  4 года назад +1

    Keef, apart from Chicken Stock, which we can make cheaply and easily, most of us use decent cubes, or liquid stock. Those that say you should be making your own, probably never do themselves. P.S. I always chuck a teaspoon or 2 of cheap and cheerful Dijon Mustard into the Batter Mix, and a teaspoon or 4 of Colemans English Mustard Powder with the flour when making the Roux for the gravy. It really adds to the flavour.

    God I wish I could get my hands on fresh sausages, but where the is a will there is a way and I shall make my own asap. 😍👍
    Oh jeeeeeeeez bone broth is a pain in the arse to make and easier to buy because it must be frozen or canned in jars and storage is premium space in UK as people in USA think all kitchen are huge unless you live in city centers in appartments

      Enjoy - I still don't know what to do for your shoutout - certainly not making StormDraining!

      @@Keefcooks Egad, NO!! No sursmoltenfisk (aka StormDraining, I assume).You have to think of your subscribers and patrons. I come from German ancestry, and have turned up my nose (literally) at Limburger my whole life.
      Here are some random thoughts: 1.) your 'Saga' character is literally named for my most-made KeefCooks dish, the skirlie that Mrs. Keef termed 'a savory porridge'. I add bacon. 2.) making 'non-bread' is risky, unless you want cries of 'Keef broke my toof!' 3.) Vimes and Sven-Ake catch salmon together--perhaps salmon filets with dill which is, as the dwarfs say, 'the thing and the whole of the thing' when it comes to Scandinavian cooking; 3.) perhaps some form of curry, korma, vindaloo or anything that would fall under the heading of 'Klatchian Takeaway'. 4.) Sausage inna bun--but prepared so humans can actually consume it.
      But in Chapter Seventeen, which goes up in a couple of weeks, there's a passage about that most Discworldian of foods. It's a little off beat, but fun. I refer, of course, to the archetypal DW pizza.
      "And then the aroma hit them.
      Tearing open the box, Vimes found a large Klatchian Hots, extra anchovies and hold the Moon Demon peppers. Just the way he liked it.
      The distant rumbling of both men's stomachs suddenly got loud enough to fill the halls of several mountain kings. Conversation stopped instantly as each man grabbed a big slice, wincing at the finger-singeing heat but totally not caring.
      After a bit, half the pizza was gone and the cabin rang with satisfied belches. The bag held several hunks of non-bread. This was also welcomed, because you can never be too heavily armed in situations like these.
      "We've been in plenty of spots like this before, eh, Willikins?"
      "Most certainly, sir, but until tonight none of them have ever been catered."
      Stomachs blessedly full and the cabin redolent of eau d'anchovy, they drifted back to sleep."

    Hi there, Love your videos... you always make me smile! :) I'm an elderly Yorkshire woman born and bred in Leeds too. We didn't ever have Toad in the Hole to the best of my recollection, but we always looked forward to Sunday lunch because mum's gorgeous Yorkies were always eaten the traditional way as a first course with gravy, to fill us up so the expensive meat would go further through the week in various guises such as rissoles, stews and sandwiches! Post war Britain was a time of great hardship wasn't it, so a small joint of beef was a luxury to be stretched out as far as humanly possible. I still do Sunday lunch this way and, like mum, there are always plenty to go round! My grand children take after me... they would happily forgo the rest of the meal if they were allowed. Did you grow up with this Yorkshire ritual too?

      My fambly came from Durham, moved to Yorkshire when I was 6. We never did the YP & gravy starter thing. Maybe we were quietly rich? Don't think so though.

    Cheers Keef, Lovely food! You cannot beat Lard for Yorkshire's...The dish goes back about 200 years. Originally known as Pigeon In The Hole from about 1747 - Courtesy of the Telegraph, www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10185830/Potted-histories-toad-in-the-hole.html
