Toad in the Hole | Recipes | JUST MILK

Just Milk

Toad in the Hole

Method

  1. Mix the batter ingredients together, and put to one side.
  2. Put 50mm of sunflower oil into a baking tin, then place this on the middle shelf of your oven at his highest temperature (240°- 250°C). Place a larger tray underneath it. When the oil is very hot, add your sausages. Allow them to colour until lightly golden.
  3. Take the tin out of the oven, and pour your batter over the sausages. Throw a couple of sprigs of rosemary into the batter. Put the tin back in the oven carefully, and close the door. Do not open it for at least 20 minutes, as Yorkshire puddings can be a bit temperamental when rising. Remove from the oven when golden and crisps.
  4. Peel and slice the red onions and garlic, and fry off in the butter on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until they go sweet and translucent. Add the balsamic vinegar and allow it to cook down by half. Add the stock cube in, and a little water. Allow to simmer and your onion gravy is ready.
  5. Serve warm at the table, with a green salad as a side.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C°. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla.
  4. While mixing slowly, add half the dry ingredients, then add all the JUST MILK, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. Divide the batter evenly in the prepared tin (about 1/3 cup batter per cup cake.)
  5. Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.

For icing:

  1. Put the chocolates in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue heat until completely melted, about 1 to 2 minutes more.)
  2. Add the confectioners' sugar, JUST MILK butter, vanilla extract, and salt and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Divide icing evenly between cupcakes and swirl with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Serve.

Chicken in Milk

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Season the chicken generously all over, usig an oven proof casserole dish, fry it in the butter and a little olive oil, turning the chicken to get a golden colour all over.
  2. Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and throw away the oil and butter left in the pot. This will leave you with tasty sticky goodness at the bottom of the pan which will give you a lovely caramelly flavour later on.
  3. Put your chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven for 1½ hours. Baste with the cooking juice from time to time. The lemon zest will sort of split the milk, making a fantastic sauce!
  4. To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide it on to your plates and spoon over plenty of sauce. Serve with wilted spinach or greens and some mashed potato.
