Required : Half a pound of flour. Half a teaspoonful of salt. Two eggs. A pint of milk.

One pound of sausages, or small chops or steak, or cold meat.

First make the batter. Sieve the flour and salt into a basin ; make a hole in the middle of the flour and beat in the eggs, stirring them in smoothly, and adding half the milk. When this is smoothly mixed in, beat it well till the surface is covered with bubbles, add the rest of the milk, and let the batter stand while the other ingredients are being prepared.

Well grease a Yorkshire pudding tin or a pie-dish. If sausages are to be used, first put them into a saucepan of cold water and let them come to the boil. Then take them out, skin carefully, and cut them in halves lengthways. Arrange them at even distances in the greased tin, and then pour the batter carefully over them. Bake in a moderate oven for about one hour. Turn the toad-in-a-hole out of the tin, and cut it into neat slices, allowing a piece of sausage in each slice.

If meat is used, cut it in finger-shaped pieces, as much the size and shape of a sausage as possible.
