Ok- everyone knows I'm the worlds worst baker- the only cake I have ever got to rise came out a BOX! lol and all you had to do was add the egg, oil and milk etc! Everything else I tried from scratch either landed up looking like and upside down flying saucer or a large pancake! hahahaha.
So Nathan begs me to make him *toad in the hole* while Wayne was away last week-
I agree but remind him that it will probably be flat and stodgy as usual-and will look like a CRUMPET with sausages in. He doesn't care ,he say's - it's what he feels like and hasn't had it in a while.
For those that don't know what it is- it's a Yorkshire Pudding base with sausages baked in it(recipe linked)- it's soooo YUMMY, crisp and tasty and soft and bready in the middle. Served with gravy and veg, it's just a awesome easy meal- FOR SOME! BWAHAHAHA.
So Nathan pr-cooks the sausages while I take out the recipe book AGAIN and decide to try something ELSE with it- hee hee, not that I'm that clued up on baking- I separate the eggs this time and beat the egg whites so they are stiffish- and folded that into the finished batter after all the blending of the other ingredients ( instead of doing it all together in one)-
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- it helped , for the first time in my life I got HIGH Yorkshire Pudding that was PERFECT!
Nathan couldn't believe it and told me to grab the camera as Dad would NEVER believe this one!!! BWAHAHAHAHA- the little sh-ONE-t! lol
Check it out!!! - WOOHOOO- it's risen above the sausages!! Now that is a first and I'm soooo chuffed- hahahaha.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- maybe I will give a cake a try again- lol.

Morning Kim!!!
Toad in the Hole looks so yummy!!! and it might even be something I would try!!! My hubby LURVES Yorkshire pudding. Never made it. I always thought it was too fussy, kinda like a souffle...
MORNING SWEETY!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATS on the baking & it looks so YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUGE HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mornin...
make coffee too?
no?
yes?
no?
YES?
I haven't had toad-in-the-hole in ages!
Another trick to help get fluffy yorkshire pudding--use hot water or let your eggs sit on the counter 'til they're at room temp. Works every time!
a tip for your yorkshire pud batter is to make it long before you need it... it is best to sit around for at least an hour before cooking :)
Yorkshires are a big favourite in this house... today I'm making a similiar batter it is pancake day today.. sooooo lots of delicious pancakes either with lemon and sugar, maple syrup and double cream or mascarpone and strawberries.. whooopie.. love pancake day lol!
Yipppeeee glad you got your recipe right..doesn't it make you feel like you have accomplished something big when a recipe turns out right..it sure does me..I have a lot I'e tried and were a big flop LOL..thanks I think I will try that out..sounds great..
Whoa - dont DO that, I WARN you Kim... hahhaha, you are going to get KIDNAPPED, find yourself living in the kitchen with an apron. Is that what you want for yourself? Quick, mess up a recipe again before its too late and your men think you're a GOOD cook.
ROTFL!
No, honestly that looks so good I could bite your little screen. I LOVE yorkshire puds. My mom was English and made the BEST. But she's passsed now, so its ok if I say that maybe, after seeing Nathan's photo of yours... well, I'll reserve myself till I get to taste it... o ya, girlfriend, one day I'll git ta taste it, right???
O happy day to you - its all raining and melting here. Spring is on its wayyyyy! squeee!
Yay you. I am on my way to pick up that Fab Collab. I got my link and I had to make time to go download. I hear it's a doozy. Don't want to clog her email, but kudos to email handler. Pass it on when you can, Please?
Morning Kim!
Toad in the Hole? What a strange name for something that looks so yummy! Better watch out,they're going to start expecting you to cook on a regular basis. LOL! I'm so pleased that you liked my newest "Roche" LO! Thanks so much!
