Method

Preheat oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
First make the batter. Put the flour in a bowl, add the eggs and slowly mix in the milk then beat until smooth.
Put the sausages in an ovenproof baking dish, scatter over the sliced onion and drizzle over the oil. Roast for 15 mins.
Remove the dish from the oven, pour the batter over and around the sausages then return to the oven and cook for a further 35 mins or until the sausages are cooked through and the batter is golden on top.
To make the gravy, heat a deep frying pan or saucepan and fry the remaining onion in the oil for 5 mins until golden. Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring until thickened. Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and, gradually, the stock, stirring until smooth and thickened to your liking.
Serve the toad in the hole with the gravy to pour pour over.

Tip: You can easily adapt the sausages in this recipe to suit your family needs; try flavoured pork sausages, lower fat alternatives or vegetarian sausages as you like.
