What do you think of these beauties? Light, crispy gluten free Yorkshire Pudding gently encasing mini cocktail sausages…… The perfect comfort food….. Toad in the Hole.

Best smothered in home-made onion gravy, there is something about eating Toad in the Hole which makes you feel both satisfied and smug. It’s one of those dishes which gives a big cuddle with every mouthful and can bring a smile to the most miserable of moods. What’s not to love?

Having played with various combinations of flour over several trial runs to get a really good batter, I think I have reached a point of gluten free Yorkie heaven……. Made with a straight forward combination of easy to source sorghum, tapioca and corn flours, this is a batter which rises well, turns deep golden and tastes crisp and delicious.

Whether for large or mini Yorkies or Toads, it has worked well for me every time. The trick (as with wheat-based Yorkies) is to make sure the batter is well whisked and the oil is really hot before pouring the batter into the pan. Never open the oven door whilst the batter is rising either….. unless you are aiming for certain deflation!

If you are gluten free, it goes without saying (although I will remind you anyway) to make sure your sausages (whether big or small) are safe for your consumption…… This is where you really luck out…. Gluten free sausages (for the most part) have a far higher meat content and way less junk in them….. they won’t usually be stuffed full of rusk to pad them out, and whilst you may pay a bit more for them, they are generally made with superior cuts of meat and taste way better than bog-standard bangers!

The choice of gluten free sausages has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. When we were first faced with having to find them, there were hardly any about (I remember complaining to Tesco in a GF survey they ran), but with the explosion of gluten free awareness and eating, it seems many of the major manufacturers and supermarket own brands have had to catch up and make sure they are part of the ‘GF gang’.

The sausage of choice in our house (for large sausages) is usually Heck. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to make cocktail sausages, so for these mini Toads I have used Tesco’s Finest Outdoor Bred Cocktail Sausages. Another favourite of ours are sausages from The Good Little Company. Not only do they do delicious sausages (big, small and teeny weeny) but they very ethically give 50% of their profits to fight poverty. We get ours in Waitrose, but sadly I couldn’t find any left in our freezer when I needed them and the nearest store was too many miles away…

I am so pleased to have cracked a good Yorkie batter….. Miss GF has spent years looking in envy when we’ve been out for Sunday lunch, as friends have scoffed big puffs of crispy-baked batter slathered in gravy with their Sunday roasts. It’s so not fair!

Well….. not any more Miss GF….. Here is your very own special gluten free pud. Save this recipe for your future and enjoy. It’s yours!

………Is it okay if I just share it with the rest of gluten free cyberspace? Maybe it would be selfish just to keep to ourselves? Perhaps a few good friends? How about……

Mini Toad in the Hole (makes 12 Yorkshire Puddings or Mini Toadies)

Ingredients 

24 gluten free cocktail sausages
3 large eggs
30g sorghum flour
20g tapioca starch (flour)
50g cornflour
150 ml milk
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
sunflower/vegetable oil

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 C/425 F/Gas 7 and prepare a 12 hole non-stick muffin tin by putting a drizzle of oil in the bottom of each hole and brushing round the sides.
  2. Prepare the batter by placing the eggs, flours, milk and salt in a medium sized bowl and whisking until light and airy. Set aside, but keep the whisk handy.
  3. Part-roast the mini sausages for 5 to 10 minutes in a little oil in a separate baking dish (longer if making a standard-sized toad in the hole with large sausages).
  4. Whilst the oven is hot, heat the oiled muffin tin for a few minutes so that the oil is really hot. Just before you take the pan out of the oven, give the batter a final quick whisk.
  5. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and quickly pop two part-cooked cocktail sausages in each muffin hole and top with batter to about half full.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes until the batter is well-risen and deep golden. Do not open the oven door while cooking (for the first 15 minutes at least). Use the oven light to check the Yorkshire Pudding progress.
  7. When ready, remove from the oven, ease from the tins with a silicone spatula and enjoy!

      Hi Jacky. I am not sure where you live, but I buy it in Holland & Barrett, as well as other local health food shops and also some farm shops. Bob's Red Mill do sorghum (and there are other brands too) which is certified gluten free.

    I've never thought to make my own mini toad in the holes before, I love making a big one and I also loved the Xmas ones from M&S, definitely something I'm going to put on my to do list!!

      Absolutely Becky. They are so easy to make….. you must give them a go!
      I didn't notice the M&S Xmas ones. But to be honest, I don't think I have ever eaten a shop-bought Yorkie….. maybe I should give them a test run!

    Kate – you are a genius. I can't get my yorkies to rise that well and I use normal gluteny flour. These are truly amazing! And I'm so pleased for Miss GF that she no longer has to look on in envy 🙂 Eb x

    I've never heard of the Good Little Company…I will have to check them out! These look wonderful (of course)…I do love a good mini toad in the hole and I don't know about you but I find the batter rises much better when you make little ones than when you make big ones (when you get more soggy batter)?

    Reply
    • Kate Glutenfreealchemist says

      25/04/2016 at 7:18 pm

      Thanks Vicki. I really rate the Good Little Company sausages. I have been known to make special trips to Waitrose to find them….. especially the 'teeny weeny' ones!
      Yorkshire batter does seem to rise better in small portions, but I think it may be because I am not patient enough to get the oil fully hot when I make big toads and then I put too much batter in! I have made good crispy ones and soggy ones with identical batter, so I figure it must be me, rather than the mix! x

    I love toad-in-the-hole, especially mini ones (they always seem to be crisper than the full-size version), these ones look just perfect.

      It is one of life's simple pleasures isn't it? The small ones do always seem to be crispier I agree…… just the way I like them! x

A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These are my gluten free Bourbon Biscuits. Optional Dairy Free and Vegan.
I worked hard to get the recipe right. It took many goes and many tweaks to achieve the texture and flavour that is so Bourbon-iconic.
That’s a lot of ingredients. A lot of ‘getting it wrong’… until I was ‘getting it right’. 
It takes a lot of effort and determination to create recipes that work and work well… And that are at least as good as their glutenous counterparts.
Imagine my utter FRUSTRATION when I found that someone had taken my recipe and (having changed one simple ingredient… removing the ‘pinch of salt’ from the biscuit dough), claimed it as their own… The only credit given to me was that they had been ‘inspired’ by my recipe. 
Even worse… they posted the FULL RECIPE on Instagram, Facebook and heaven only knows where else. 
They made a video for Instagram which has had over 7,000 views. They posted it on Facebook (without any mention of Gluten Free Alchemist initially)…That was another reach of thousands. 
I have received NOTHING from their extreme ‘generosity’ in sharing my recipe. Not even a direct link to my website, from which I am trying to make a living following redundancy.
I’m not going to name and shame (although frankly as a commercial organisation they should have known better)… But INTEGRITY is important.
If you take a recipe from someone else… Give them FULL CREDIT. If you tweak a recipe with small alterations… Still give them FULL CREDIT. Be sure to direct people to the original website post where the recipe can be found in full. 
As a recipe developer, you are at the whim of the integrity and honesty of others not to steal your work. People who take without asking and without any gratitude destroy trust and faith.
Thank you for reading xx
