Air fryer toad in the hole
Description
Delicious golden batter puffed up around juicy grilled sausages – it’s the perfect family-friendly supper and cooks so much faster in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- sunflower or vegetable oil, for greasing
- 4 pork sausages
- for the batter
- 1 large free-range egg
- 60g/2¼oz self-raising flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 75ml/2½fl oz semi-skimmed milk
- sea salt
- mashed potato and baked beans or cooked vegetables, to serve
Directions
- Put the egg, flour, baking powder and half of the milk in a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth, then whisk in the remaining milk and set aside.
- Brush the base and sides of a 18cm/7in round aluminium foil tin with the oil and line with a disc of baking paper. Brush with more oil. Place the tin on the crisper plate (grill pan/tray) set in your air fryer drawer – it will need to have enough room around it for the air to flow around the sides and underneath. Add the sausages.
- Cook the sausages at 200C for 2 minutes, then turn the sausages over so the un-browned sides are facing upwards. Space the sausages a little apart from each other, then pour the batter slowly around them. Cook at 180C for 20 minutes, or until the batter is well risen and hot throughout and the sausages are nicely browned. Remove carefully and serve immediately, with mash and beans or cooked vegetables.
