Method (preview)

1. 1

   Sift the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl, make a well in the middle and break in the eggs.

2. 2

   Stir well, adding the milk a little at a time, beating hard until the batter is smooth with a creamy consistency.

3. 3

   Leave to stand for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, cut the sausages in two, and fry gently in half the dripping until golden-brown.

5. 5

   Put the rest of the dripping in a shallow baking tin, or ovenproof dish, then place in the oven until very hot and smoking.

6. 6

   Arrange the sausages in the dish so that they stand on their ends, if possible. Pour the batter gently around them.

7. 7

   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the batter has risen round the sausages and set.

8. 8

   The tops of the sausages, or toads, should be just visible.
