Grandmother’s Toad in a Hole
I have fond memories of my grandmother’s Yorkshire pudding wrapped around sausages, a puffy dish my kids called “the boat.” Slather it with butter and maple syrup. —Susan Kieboam, Streetsboro, Ohio

- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

When I can't decide what to make for dinner this is one of the quick recipes that pop up. It is very good and easy to make, Hubby likes it too.
I've been making this recipe from when it was first published in the magazine and called "Pigs in a blanket"! :) Don't remember the year. I used the same ingredients but use one oven proof pan to brown my sausages and bake it in, forgoing the olive oil and preheating. Brings back memories of my Moms Yorkshire pudding! YUM!
Absolutely delicious! I made this as breakfast for dinner and it was perfect. We really loved this and will make it again and again.
I make this this all the time. My husband and I really enjoy it. It's easy to make and very tasty! I like to top it with a little butter and real Maple Syrup. I only use 1 TBS olive oil and it's plenty.
This was easy and delicious. We had it for a British dinner (here in Singapore) during the royal wedding of Meghan and Harry. I put butter and maple syrup on it. Reminded me of crepes but far easier. We left none!!!
Note- This dish is very adaptable. We often serve it as a main dish with Homemade or store bought gravy-also very good. ~For katandalan- This recipe takes 3 eggs..Susan K. Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor
Haven't tried yet and I plan to but I have two recipes identical except one asks for 6 eggs and one asks for 3 eggs. I'm wondering if both work or if there is an error in one of the recipes and, if so, which? Help?
Fixed this for a light supper. It was very good. Definitely a keeper.
I have a recipe book that calls this a German Pancake and fruit is placed on top of the egg before putting it in the oven. I usually use apples and walnuts I've cooked in a small pan. If I want to spruce it up I'll sprinkle powdered on top after it's cooled just a little bit. Very tasty!
Its time to make this one again! Hubby and I really enjoyed this up scaled breakfast. I used a ground sausage verses the links. Just my preference. I did not serve it with any gravy or syrup and it was wonderful as is. Its such a quick, easy and super clean recipe to make. Next time I am going to try to use a Muffin Pan for a future family buffet. Many thanks to my Dear Friend for sharing her Grandmas Recipe. It is a Keeper *JanieTaste Of Home Volunteer Field Editor
