Step 1

Preheat the oven to 240C/220 Fan/Gas 9.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a small frying pan and fry the sausages until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Put the flour in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and make a well in the centre. Crack in the egg and pour in the milk, then whisk until combined and free of lumps.

Step 4

Preheat a cupcake tray in the oven. When it is hot, drop the sausages into separate cupcake holes. Pour the batter around the sausages and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden-brown and risen.

Step 5

Meanwhile, make the gravy and boil the peas according to the packet instructions. Serve immediately with the toad in the hole.
