Poach them in the kettle, just tape down the on switch and leave for 15 minutes, adding a few slices of lemon 2 minutes from the end.

Remember to fill kettle first.

Excellent effort, Kaz.
I haven't laughed at a thread so much since Hiney's altercation with his neighbours.
Hope you enjoyed the takeaway, Seagullion.

Well I've just finished my toad in the hole with mustard mash and it was luverley. Hope the take away was good and tune in next week for the next episode of "How to Talk the Misses into a Take Away"

I don't get it? You could have avoided all of this by lifting the missus up (get a good hold under the armpits), and walking her into the kitchen. With a bit of assistance, she should have been able to cook dinner for you - what are women for, for God's sake? I can't help thinking that you have brought this whole disaster on yourself by not taking charge of the malingering missus.

Anyway - if you can't stick it on a hexamine burner with a C4 firelighter, it's not worth eating.....

Wholegrain Mustard Mash is the shizam.
After reading you post 555Kaz how do you make toad in the hole. It is my favorite dish but haven't had it in about 8 years as mother Biehn used to make it for me.

Yorkshire pudding batter with sausages in it.

That just tells me what it is. I still don't know how to cook sausages or make the batter, or whether you do cook them together or seperate.

Find out on the BBC website. They have LOADS of recipes on there. My only adive for toad in the hole is to make sure the oil is HOT before adding the batter to thedish. I think I shall make toad in the hole this week sometime. Yummy!

Here's a simple one..

Ingredients
1 free-range egg
75g/2½oz plain flour
¼ pint milk
4 sausages
4 tbsp olive oil



Method
1. Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Mix the batter together and leave to sit while you fry the sausages.
3. Heat one tbsp oil in a medium ovenproof frying pan and gently brown the sausages for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat.
5. Pour in the batter and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until risen and golden.

Chappers your a ledge. Cheers mate.

Failing that, Asda and Safeway sell ready-meals, all you have to do is follow the instructions. Not as good as the real thing, but handy if you just need a quick fix of toad in the hole. You can get individual ones as well (check the freezer compartments).

Cheers Hampshire.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Make your own batter, much better.

Sieve in the flour to and remove any lumps after you have mixed the batter. Make your own, seriously, it's much better than those shit ready meal ones as they use crappy bangers.

Just be careful - if you are not trained in the kitchen, this is what happens!

Always better to let a fully trained kitchen operative do the tasks.

"The couple had been out for drinks with friends on Friday night and returned home to Wick Parade, Littlehampton, in the early hours of Saturday.

Mrs Quincey began cooking fishfingers in a deep-fat fryer but the couple fell asleep and the fryer burst into flames. "

I must admit the ready made yorkshires are always hard which isn't good.

I must admit the ready made yorkshires are always hard which isn't good.

They only need 4 mins. I prefer Yorkshires to be slightly crispy.
Soggy batter is horrible.

 

[Les Biehn]

Light and fluffy are the best.

So what did the missus think of your attempts at dinner then?
