Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large roasting pan and add 8 pork sausages evenly spaced. Roast for 15 minutes until browned.
Step 2: While sausages cook, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup whole milk with 1 tsp salt until smooth and frothy. Let batter rest.
Step 3: Remove the roasting pan from oven and carefully pour the batter over the browned sausages. Return to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the batter is puffed and golden.
Step 4: For the gravy, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes until softened and caramelized.
Step 5: Pour in 2 cups beef stock and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, simmering for 10 minutes until the gravy thickens and deepens in flavor.
Step 6: Serve the toad-in-the-hole hot with generous ladles of onion gravy poured over.
