Respect the yorkie puddin. Gravy is not a serving suggestion, it's a MUST with yorkshire pudding. EDIT; SYRUP, nooo??!! This is a dinner dish served with beef gravy, mashed, boiled or roasted potatoes and veg. It's not a breakfast or a sweet anything.

Maple syrup and bacon on them is delicious! What do you mean!? You could also make it with italian sausage or beef franks. Yorkshire puds on their own is the same method, works well in a muffin tin for individual ones. Must admit, served with a nice gravy is my favourite.

Coming from a Yorkshire man and as others have said, smoking hot oil (or dripping if you wanna go to the next level with your Yorkies) is needed and the batter has to rest at room temp before adding (about an hour for the bubbles to come to the top). Be quick to add the batter to the hot oil / fat and straight back into the oven. If you want, you can add small pieces of onion and mixed herbs to the batter to make "mucky puddings". An easier way to make the batter is to measure out 4 eggs (can be a glass, jug or whatever you have to hand as long as you can see the level) and then use the same amount of flour and milk with salt and pepper added to taste.

[@pathanson9760]

As a brit who has cooked this dish. Many times. Some golden rules cooking Yorkshire pudding. First use Plain Flour. Sounds counter intuitive. Plenty of white pepper in the mix. Best rising agent. Whisk your batter mix. To get air into the mixture. Only cook the sausages hakf way around. So the uncooked side faces up. You dont burn the sausages in the oven . The most important tip. Cannot stress this enough. Your oil in the pan. Idealy should be nearly smoking hot. Dush out of the oven. Ingredients in as quick as possible. Back in the oven. You should hear a good sizzle when you add the batter.its about retaining the heat. Your battervwhen cooked should be light, crispy and golden brown. Do not open the oven door as the dish is cooking.. i love this dish. Hope this helps. P.s. in yorkshire can be served as a sweet as well. With ice cream or jam. So your call about Maple syrup is spot on. Enjoy 😂😂😂😂

A cup of plan flour, a cup of eggs, a cup of full fat milk and whisk the day before. No oil!, just a pinch of salt and that’s a Yorkshire pudding in a seriously hot oven. You heat your tray up with beef fat….. not much, but a small sizzling layer before you drop your sausages ‘pre cooked’ into it and then drop in the batter. Give it 45 mins and damn, make a gravy from beef stock, red wine, oxo, msg, and marmite ( one tea spoon). Cook the gravy with sautéed red onions and garlic. If it needs thickening, put some red wine into flour cold, then whisk and add it cold. The gravy will be better the second day too

[@coffeecolic5799]

I was a chef for 20 years. One of the secrets I was told was the oil has to be extremely hot, to the point where it's smoking (heating under the grill is best) then add the batter to the oil. Obviously it goes without saying you have to be extremely careful and watch it constantly as you are heating the oil cuz the last thing you want is for the oil to catch fire! Another hints I was told was to make the batter well in advance. We used to make it the night before we intended to use the batter and leave it at room temperature overnight. If you make it correctly, the Yorkshire pudding should be quite light and fluffy and not solid. Also, you really should have it with gravy or onion gravy, preferably with nice buttery, creamy mashed potato, season with salt and pepper and served with garden peas. And I would suggest using real butter, not that American artificial rubbish. Real butter cannot be spread from the fridge

[@debs6475]

Why can't you eat toad in the hole for breakfast? I think you can eat whatever you like for breakfast, surely! Maybe you wouldn't eat it for breakfast. That's a whole different thing.

She thought that's what it involved, and he actually liked it.... so.... no problem for anyone. 😊

[@paulharvey9149]

Really good first attempt guys, but there are golden rules to remember next time, that'll make it even easier and make your sausages taste better too: Firstly, pre-heat that oven - as high as it goes, then Put the oil into the oven dish, and heat it in the oven, until it's really hot. Meanwhile, prepare the Yorkshire Pudding by putting all the dry ingredients in your bowl first, then add the milk and eggs AND NO OIL - just a little bit at a time as you stir it all in, making a medium consistency batter. If it feels too tick, add a little water - but you may not have to. Then add your uncooked sausages to it - they will cook in the oil; and after a few minutes, add your batter mix and leave in the oven for about 25 minutes, by which time the batter will have risen about four-fold - at least arond the edges. Prepare your gravy while it's still in the oven. Red Onions will add some sweetness... When you remove it from the oven, the batter should have an almost crisp, shiny appearance, and the sausages (which are the 'toads') are literally at the bottom of holes in the Yorkshire Pudding! It can be difficult to get it right - very often the pudding doesn't rise that much in the middle, but practice makes perfect! So yes, do it again this way and you'll both see and taste the difference!

[@neilgayleard3842]

Add some cheddar with the onions . Use fat not oil, it gets hotter and will help the batter rise more.

[@TheMillieBurton]

This is the one. Served with mashed potatoes. Leave your insane syrup idea alone!!

I'd add onions to the bottom of the pan before adding the batter too. It adds a bit more flavour. It also seemed a bit light on pepper too. A little (!) mustard powder also adds flavour.

As a Yorkshire man that gave me anxiety 😂😂 the oil going in the batter and then how slow you were to put the batter in the hot oil 😂 but well done in your first attempt guys!

[@timenchanter1983]

There's a reason we call our sausages "bangers", if you are cooking them in a pan you need to first pierce the skin with a knife or fork to let the steam escape, that's why they were moving about, otherwise you risk them popping and shooting hot oil everywhere (you don't have to do this if you are cooking them in the oven). As others have said though, for toad in the hole you typically cook them in the same dish that you will use for the batter at the end. I'm surprised that it came out as well as it did with the oil fiasco, but for sure it didn't have the texture it was supposed to and was probably quite greasy. It's a very simple recipe (equal parts flour, milk and eggs) that is designed to make the meat go further rather than taste particularly good so the texture is important and the gravy is essential as that is where the flavour comes from. As a side note, the gravy you have in the US, the white sausage gravy, would probably taste amazing with yorkshire puddings if you want to make a US/UK fusion meal...

[@sherlockrobin597]

Whoever told you not to bother with gravy is a nutcase. You should have left the mixture to rest for an hour or so at room temperature, and heated the dish up with oil in until it was smoking, then poured it in quick and put straight into the oven. The oil you added has ruined the mixture. It's supposed to rise and be light and crispy. It must be disgusting. Do it again, and do it right.

Well what can I say! To start with a proper Yorkshire pudding can be used as a savoury dish or a sweet dish, (my uncle told me he a proper Yorkshire man) the savoury option is either with roast beef with your gravy and the Yorkshire pudding (small cup cake size) the sweet version is cold Yorkshire pudding with a bit of jam or marmalade! You don't need to precook the sausages before you cook the whole thing, you can make your batter by using 3 eggs, splash of milk and water (total of around 1z/4 pint) salt and pepper and add your flour till you get the consistency of thick cream then poor over the sausages and cook for 20/25 min at 180/190 or until its golden brown! Some people (including me) put sliced onions into the batter before pouring over the (uncooked sausages) this adds extra flavour to the dish! And I know all this because I'm a retired chef!

Add some herbs or even spice to the batter mix. Yorkshire pudding is basically a batter but done in the oven. "Apple sauce goes amazing with pork, and sausages" especially if you use really good high in pork sausages, 70-90% pork.

[@chixma7011]

My grandmother (I’m a pensioner myself now) used to beat just one egg (5??!!) into half a pint of half water/half milk and gradually add it to 8 ounces (one cup) of AP flour, salt and pepper all mixed together in a pint jug. She would make it in advance and stick the jug in the fridge to get really cold, just giving it a good stir before pouring it into the dish, but it’s not strictly necessary, especially if you’ve been out at work all day. The thicker and richer you make the batter (5 eggs - and a bit more flour!! 😮) the less it will rise so don’t worry about it looking a bit thinner than you expected. It’s not meant to be as thick as pancake or waffle batter. If you’ve got a metal dish to cook it in you would also get a much lighter result because it will get hotter than a glass dish. Put the sausages with a little oil or meat dripping in the dish then pop them in the oven to start cooking while you’re mixing up the batter. They don’t need to be fully cooked when you pour on the batter. The oil, or preferably meat dripping, should be so hot it smokes so that the cold batter hitting it will immediately sizzle and puff up before it even gets back into the oven. Glad you had a go and enjoyed the flavour, but proper Yorkshire pudding should be more like an éclair in texture than a pancake. I recommend you have another run at it and use the 25 minutes cooking time to make the onion gravy on the top of the stove. You’ll be really glad you did. 😊❤

Fantastic Anna, you're through to next round

[@simonwhiting2067]

simple batter mix, take a coffee cup, fill with a cup of flour, a cup of milk, two eggs, salt then whisk...

[@royhardy407]

Try it without sausage but with Gooseberries or rhubarb , serve sprinkled with sugar whislt hot and the sugar will melt on the food ... delicious. My wifes mum called it rhubarb drop. Our eldest grandson will always ask my wife "Nan, when are you making Toad in the hole" and he is 30 years old .... bless.

[@grumpymunchkin1540]

Guys you used already cooked sausages!! Also in the UK we do not use cups as a measure. If it isn’t in either grams/ml or oz/floz it isn’t from here! Also… my best piece of advice, particularly following the oil shenanigans, read a recipe from the beginning to end before starting and don’t freestyle 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@StephMcAlea]

I don't think ive ever seen toad in the hole without mashed potato and gravy. It would just seem really dry. It does look super oily... oh, and good job anna! 😊😊 The sausages seem a little 'fatty' due to the popping. Get some HP on! My mum's recipe is toad in the hole, a bit more black pepper, roast potatoes with a teeny bit of brown sugar on top to make them crunchy, green veggies, chicken or onion gravy, and redcurrant jelly/sauce. Make sure they're lean sausages. NOOOOO to syrup!

[@nigelhyde279]

Never felt the need for mashed potatoes, there’s enough carbs in the Yorkshire pudding. Gravy though is essential.

[@daisysunshine1324]

My Nan used to give us Yorkshire puds with jam. But sweet stuff on toads. Nah.

[@jameshead9119]

Same here it was always the meat portion in a school dinner of meat and two veg dinner meal with the pots being either baked boiled or mashed with dollops of gravy Ladled on top but that’s a long time ago before the schools changed to the cafeteria model ( frankly I think the old way was better even though the food tended to be bland it was more filling and cheaper than they get now )

[@helenatyeo6840]

You two crack me up ...best tip is read the recipe through till you understand ..heat oil in pan b4 you start yorkshire pudding ..too many eggs for a british yorkshire ..put flour salt etc in bowl drop beaten egg in the middle mix then slowly add the milk beating in in bits to beat lumps out ..brown sausages in the oil in the tin already in oven ..brown not fully cook as will continue to cook wen batter is added ..dont forget to add salt n pepper to flour first..hope this helps . .but find a good british yorkshire pudding recipe 😊

[@ginge2062]

chef here....when you added more flour that could have been a mistake, and you definatly dont need water, just equal parts egg, flour and milk made the same way you did and you will have epic fluffy yorkshires, add the batter to the pan when the oil is smoking hot, have your oven around 210c and make sure your batter is room temperature before you add it to the pan, dont refrigerate just before you use it, the cold batter to a hot pan shocks the mixture and can cause problems, also the cold batter knocks the heat out of the pan to it cooks less effectivly, when you add the better it should start bubbling away on the oil. yorkshire puddings arnt hard to make but they are quite technical for what they are , the egg white is what makes them rise so when you added extra flour you threw off the balance, if the mixture if too thick it resists to much and dosnt let the egg do its job good luck for next time :)

[@interghost]

Yeah, gravy with it, or tomatoe sauce, or mustard! yum! - Not syrup nooo!

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

i use lard instead of oil... someone used oil because it was easier... the old way is to use lard in the pan, a good smear of lard all around the pan works great, i dont pre cook the sausages either i just put em in the pan and pour the batter mix over the sausages and then into a preheated oven... the fat from the sausages also help cook the batter. all you need now with that is mixed boiled ved and mashed potato and onion gravy.

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Yep

[@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632]

Definitely beef lard, it’s full off flavour, vegetable oil is bland and no good for batter mixture, plus you need that oil smoking hot!

[@roblister5183]

Not a proper Yorkie without dripping.

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

Definitely lard, or beef dripping if you really want to push the boat out.

[@R989D]

Brit here…100% try “Delia Smith Toad and the hole” and “onion gravy” recipe you honestly can’t fail. You’ll get super risen fluffy pudding and I guess with American sausages being different to uk it’ll never taste exactly like the British version. But definitely gravy onion or regular is a must have. And my family’s tweet is to through in some chopped up leftover black pudding/haggis in with the sausages too but I know sooooo many people would say 🚫⛔️🙅‍♀️ to that 😂😂😂 but it’s honestly delish! In fact now I want that for my dinner!

[@SicKBizniTch]

Good job Anna!! An admirable attempt JT! 🫢😆

[@gjhille0989]

oil goes in the pan, put the pan in the oven so the oil gets really hot, then add the sausages and the batter and cook until the batter rises. Have it with mash potatoes and veg - delicious!

[@TopherPotter]

In the UK we generally have two different types of Yorkie puddings. fluffy (made in a muffin tin like pan) or stodgy (like you've made here). My favourite is stodgy which as you said towards the end is also great with sweet toppings, my favourite is Raspberry Jam especially with the pudding warmed.

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

Your oven needed to be hotter and the fat in the dish hotter to get the Yorkshire pudding to rise and brown. It’s best served with roast potatoes or mash with veg and onion gravy, our good brown meaty gravy. It’s very good quick meal for families. The mixture you initially made is a batter, that we use for pancakes with syrup so you’re not far off. We do eat those minus the sausage though. I’m a traditional Yorkshire lass who has lived off Yorkshire puddings 😀

[@ritaboes]

Def with roast potatoes not with mashed potatoes and gravy( which we Dutchies don't even call gravy ). Duch gravy is thin and runny. 😂

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

@@ritaboes it’s actually better with both 😋😋

[@megandawson9835]

When I make toad in the hole I use the oil from the sausages to cook the pudding. Let me explain. I put the sausages in a metal pan on the hob or stove top and then when the sausages ate half cooked I put the batter in the pan and put that in the oven. It's something my mum and grandma did

[@ALMUK22]

Yes, I’d agree with that. A lot less work as well.

[@louiseglasgow]

I've only got as far as "cup of eggs" and I'm like "oh no, that's not a British recipe"! Maybe when you do cooking videos, search for "UK recipe" and make sure it's on a UK website, or get a recipe from one of your subscribers.

[@leesagar8651]

Yes definitely redo it with gravy as toad in the hole is a bread type dish and soaks up some of the gravy

[@karlosthegr3at-casinogrounds]

Your best using a metal tin for Yorkshire pudding and the oil in the tin needs to be sizzling. And bisto gravy is a must use

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

[@AllHarshhash]

you should use lard and make sure its almost smoking when you put the batter in it will help it rise

[@AnnMcKinlay-zp2ef]

With a bit less oil and leave out the water, my recipe from my grandmother! One cup, of whatever size, eggs,milk and flour. If it’s very stiff with just the egg and flour, add a little of the milk to the mixture as you go! If you can, use a mixer and, before you actually put it in the oven, whip it again! Make sure that your pan goes into the hot oven until the oil smokes before you add in the sausages and batter. Do that as quickly as you can, you want the oil to stay really hot!❤️❤️❤️

[@Ladybird765-m3u]

Try it with GRAVY it’s amazing!!! My dad’s Yorkshire pudding is 5 times more puffy than that but good for your first time

[@dontaskme7004]

If you want a sweet version you can use the same batter but add banana's instead of sausages, serve with custard instead of gravy. My nan wouldn't waste anything, if there was batter left over from making Yorkshires for a roast she'd add in raisins (or similar dried fruit), some mixed spice (varies by brand but usually some combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves), a bit of sugar or syrup or treacle (molasses). Pour into small cake/muffin tins, then put those in the oven while we eat dinner. Pretty much whatever's in the cupboard to make use of the left over batter, the oven's already on, just a quick and easy dessert from what's laying around.

[@SirLeanAlot]

hi from the UK Toad in the Hole with mash an gravy its banging

[@keithwindow4435]

Quick tip if the oil is starting to smoke (445f) it's hot enough. If you want something sweet use the same batter put raisins or sultanas in it, cook then sprinkle sugar on it

[@BogusDudeGW]

you're defo not from Yorkshire, gross

[@keithwindow4435]

@@BogusDudeGW I never mentioned Yorkshire I mentioned the batter which is a pancake batter which has been around for longer than Yorkshire puddings oldest YP recipe around 1700’s which states mix a pancake batter then pour into very hot pan. Prior to that it was dripping pudding, batter is used to utilise dripping from the meat on the spit. I have family born and bred in Yorkshire and they put jam on their leftover Yorkshires. Pancakes can be sweet or savoury same batter different cooking method so what’s gross about it

[@58jennypenny]

I've never put oil in the batter though.

[@DandelionandBardock]

From the UK here. Definitely don't add oil to the batter lol. I normally don't pre-cook the sausages, I throw them in the oven then add the batter. And the Onion gravy is a must. 😁

As a chef of 30+ yrs the best Yorkshire Pudding recipe is equal quantity of eggs, flour and milk and seasoned to taste.

When we have leftover Yorkshire puds the are great with jam and a coffee my favourite is lemon and lime marmalade

[@iainsan]

Next time, please try it with onion gravy rather than syrup. Sweat two chopped onions in melted butter over a low heat for 10-15 minutes with the pan lid on. Add enough flour to make a thick roux. Cook this for a couple of minutes. Add beef stock and a dash of wine or sherry. Simmer for a further 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour over your toad in the hole.

Please do this video again. 1) Use a metal tin. 2) Heat the oil until it is very hot and tip the mix in the moment you get it out of the oven. 3) Add the sausage after the mix goes in the tin. That does not look like "Toad in the Hole". In some parts of England Yorkshire pudding is eaten cold with jam (jelly) as a pudding.
