allurmemesrbelong2me: That first half second was strangely erotic
ZeroAccess: If I don’t have a hipster bottle can I put my batter in a mason jar instead? And can I just use a normal potato masher or do I have to make potato worms first?
chrisl182: Warm that butter with some warm milk before adding it to the warm mash.
Warm.
sangandongo: Is nobody going to mention the weird colored egg? I want to mention the weird colored egg.
THERE WAS A WEIRD EGG!
Johnpecan: That was a wild ride.
Nylonknot: Why rice the potatoes if you are just going to mash them? Or I am not seeing it correctly?
bachataking55: Who has beef drippings on hand?
slumberjack7: Absolutely mouthwatering. When I woke up today I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Toad in a Hole, and now ill be trying my hand at the mini version once I’m home from work today. Thanks OP!
EmperorsarusRex: Seems British
Tobias—Funke: Why bake the potatoes only to mash them?!
bulkandskull: Can I substitute butter for beef drippings?
Also, is there a good recipe for the onion gravy?
Looks delicious!
EDIT: Just realized they make the gravy in the GIF
dinngoe: I’ll have to show my woman this.
speedylee: **[Mini Toad in the Hole](https://www.tastemade.co.uk/videos/mini-toad-in-the-hole)** by Tastemade UK
**INGREDIENTS**
* 4 large eggs
* 150g plain flour
* 100ml whole milk mixed with 50ml water
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 6 sausages
* 100ml beef drippings, lard, shortening, or vegetable oil
* 6 sprigs rosemary
* 6 baked potatoes (1 hr at 200C)
* 100g butter, in chunks
* 6 small onions, sliced
* 2 tbsp flour
* 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
* 500ml chicken stock
**INSTRUCTIONS**
1. You can make the batter up to two days in advance. Keep it in the fridge but bring it to room temperature before you use it. Or make it just before you need it, and let it rest for 30 minutes (not in the fridge) before you use it.
2. Put the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add one egg at a time and whisk through, then whisk in the milk and water – slowly, to avoid lumps. Let it stand for 30 minutes – or up to two days, in the fridge.
3. 30 minutes before you want to eat, put 1 tsp of dripping or vegetable oil, and one sausage, into each muffin tin, then put in the oven for 10 minutes at 220C.
4. When the sausages have started to brown and the oil is smoking, carefully remove the muffin tray from the oven and add a sprig of rosemary to each – then fill ¾ full with your batter mix.
5. Return to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, make your onion gravy. A 2 tbsp fat or oil to a pan and brown your sliced onions. Sprinkle over the flour, and stir quickly to form a paste. Add stock bit by bit, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the mustard and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Split open the hot baked potatoes and put the hot flesh through a potato ricer into a saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to mash it, then stir in the chunks of butter. Taste for seasoning then cover until you’re ready to serve.
8. When the Yorkshire puddings are fully risen, remove from the oven and serve immediately with mash and onion gravy.
brooksjonx: Yeah, I’m making this as soon as I possibly can.
ErnestShocks: What is the purpose of adding the flour while sauteeing(?) the onions?
whitewateractual: Hmm.. I’m wondering how well these would freeze…
TheFlyingOx: Just needs a good slosh of Hendo’s and it’s a classic.
betnico: Why can’t people do normal mash?!
ehrwien: After having read the title, the beginning of the gif reminded me of [the scene from Pan’s Labyrinth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0WZXPHD7vk) and I nope’d the fuck out of there
birdsong100: A potato ricer gives a totally different texture than a masher. Lighter, fluffier. Baked potatoes also have a different flavor than boiled. As for the glass bottle people in England are more into recycling and less into plastic than most Americans- hence the use of an old sauce bottle for the batter.
Sexogenesis: Mouth is watering 🤤
pen15pen15pen15679: This actually looks pretty gross and I love pigs in the blanket
FullShaka: How do people even come up with these things?
nomegusta_nuncamas: First glance, thought they were cockroaches.
improvisedPizza: Why don’t you just cook the bread part first and put a roasted sausage on top
IsThereCheese: There’s no way in hell I would do this much work in the morning for breakfast
MizukiAyu: That is very unappetizing
anonlaughingman: I don’t know why I hate this. All of it. The naming of things the random way things were made. That egg. That weird bottle. The potato masher. All of this just seemed really stupidly unnecessary. So it was a piece of sausage with a piece of bread and some mashed potatoes thanks.
