With a twist on the British classic, this toad in the hole uses canned hot dogs rather than sausages. Served with a richly flavoured onion gravy it is perfect comfort food.

This hot dog Toad in the Hole is the second of my recipes for Princes for Come Home to Princes, celebrating affordable, easy to prepare and more importantly tasty, mid week family meals.  Good food is central to a happy home, and these recipes offer maximum taste for minimum effort.

Toad in the hole is NOT to be confused with the Australian classic of Frog in the Pond.  Something I’d never heard of, until I asked an Australian friend for dinner who expressed horror – it turns out that frog in the pond is a chocolate frog encased in green jelly – a classic children’s party treat and the equivalent of the British pink blancmange rabbit sitting on green jelly grass which was served at every children’s birthday party up until the early 1980s.

Back to the Toad in the Hole – Yorkshire pudding is a thing of beauty, and really very easy to make, you just need to turn the oven up as high as it will go, and make sure that your baking tray and the oil are smoking hot before you pour the batter in.  If your Yorkshires have not risen properly in the past then try turning the oven up.  Oven thermostats are notoriously unreliable, and some ovens take far longer to come back to their set temperature after opening the doors than others; it would be a shame to miss out on a Toad in the Hole because of the oven temperature.

With a twist on the British classic, this toad in the hole uses canned hot dogs rather than sausages. Add a good glug of homemade onion gravy for perfect comfort food.

Hot Dog Toad in the Hole

With a twist on the British classic, this toad in the hole uses canned hot dogs rather than sausages. Serve with onion gravy for an easy comforting meal.
Servings: 4
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time35 mins
Total Time50 mins

Ingredients

  • in For the Toad the Hole
  • 40 g dripping or vegetable oil
  • 1 can Princes hot dog sausages
  • 70 g plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • For the onion gravy
  • Glug vegetable oil
  • 1 onion - peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic - peeled and chopped
  • 2 tsp plain flour
  • 350 ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp heaped french mustard
  • 2 tsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 230C / 220 Fan Gas 8.
  • Divide the dripping between four individual pie dishes, place in the oven to melt the dripping.
  • Drain the sausages and cut in half to fit the dishes. Divide the hot dog pieces evenly between the pie dishes and cook for 5 - 10 minutes until they start to brown.
  • Whilst the sausages are cooking, place the flour into a bowl and add the eggs, mix until smooth. Whisk in the milk in a little at a time, season with salt and pepper. You can also use a jug, or stick blender to make the batter.
  • Once the pie dishes, oil and sausages are hot quickly pour one quarter of the batter into each dish over the sausages.
  • Cook for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • Don’t be tempted to open the oven before the end of cooking time.
  • Serve with onion gravy, mash and vegetables.
  • For the gravy
  • Pour the oil into a small saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and fry over a medium heat until golden. Add the flour and cook for a few minutes stirring all the time. Slowly add about half the stock, a little at a time, stirring well with each addition.
  • Add the mustard and soy sauce and season to taste. Add more stock as needed until the gravy is the desired consistency.

Notes

If your Yorkshires don't rise properly try turning up the oven temperature.
You can use sunflower or other oil in place of the dripping.

    You have to be joking right?! The first listed ingredient for these ‘hot dogs’ are 56% Mechanically Separated Chicken, followed by Water. Pork Rind comes in at 11%. What happened to the mantra of “there’s a huge difference between eating well cheaply, and eating cheap food”…??

      Thanks for your comments, it’s good to get feedback on my recipes. I’m a firm believer that food is there to be enjoyed and as long as you eat a balanced diet with lots of fresh ingredients then it’s ok to use time saving store cupboard ingredients from time to time. I’m working with Princes on this campaign which is all about enjoying hearty but simple and inexpensive dishes and it will include recipes using other products from their range including corned beef and ham. Interestingly 30% of UK households buy jarred or canned hotdogs which do not need to be refrigerated and of course have a long shelf life making them a useful store cupboard ingredient. Thanks again for your feedback, Helen

      A really useful store cupboard ingredient, and ideal for when you are away and not near a fridge.

    Being an Aussie, funnily, I’ve never heard of Frog in a Pond, but I have definitely heard of Toad in the hole……… Your version using Prince hot dogs looks simply delicious.

      Maybe it is a regional thing?
