mini chorizo toad in the hole

Posted on by

The other day I saw a friend’s pic of toad in the hole on Instagram and I said, hang on that’s just yorkshire pudding with sausage in it. Duh. I don’t know what I thought it was before, I just knew it involved sausage and some sort of pastry. So then I wondered how this would work with the mini yorkshire puddings, with mini chorizos. Spoiler: omg they were good.

So obviously you can play around with different types of sausage. I liked how the mini chorizos ended up lightly flavouring both the onions and the dough with smoky pimentón. Bear in mind that these were raw chorizos, not cured, and are meant to be either pan-fried or cooked on a bbq. The puddings didn’t rise as much as when they are cooked without a filling, but they were still very light and crispy. Perfect snack food, or for a party. And the mini versions are easy to store in the fridge and reheat the next day.

I am new to the whole Yorkshire Pudding thing, partly because I was a bit intimidated by the idea of having to bake something light, airy and crispy (and I’m no baker). I shouldn’t have worried – these are so easy to make and pretty much fool proof. Best tip came from my friend Pam who said she mixes hers up ahead of time in the blender and just keeps whizzing the batter up every 20 minutes or so while she’s preparing the rest of the meal. I used a stick blender with a whisk attachment.

I usually play around a bit with recipes I find online, but this one by Mary Berry is perfect. And why mess with perfection? The BBC recipe link comes with a video too.
