No toads in this recipe. Just good [[bangers]] and [[batter pudding]]. It's all about personal taste, whilst the original was probably made with [[Pork|pork]] [[Sausages|sausages]], if you prefer smoked alligator sausages, make it with them instead!

This recipe is based on the batter recipe from Delia Smith's famous cookbook so has been proven time and again.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 2 tablespoons of olive oil
| 1 medium [[onion]], peeled and sliced
| 8 quality [[Sausages|sausages]] such as [[Debbie and Andrew's Perfect Cumberland Pork Sausages]]
| 75 g (3 oz) [[Plain flour|plain flour]], sifted
| 1 large [[Free range egg|free range egg]]
| 75 ml (3 fl oz) cold [[Milk|milk]]
| 55 ml (2 fl oz) water
| ''130 ml - 5 fl oz in total''
| [[Salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] to taste
| Splash of [[Louisiana hot pepper sauce]] or [[Tabasco sauce]] (optional)
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Place a [[roasting tin]] in the oven and preheat 220° C (425° F - gas 7)
| Fry the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, in a frying pan for 4 minutes until the onions are soft.
| Partially cook the sausages by frying in the same pan together with the onions for another 4 minutes.
| Meanwhile add the remaining ingredients to a [[Food processor|food processor]] and blitz until you have a smooth batter
| There should be enough fat from the sausages for the [[batter]], if not, add a tablespoon of oil.
| Arrange the sausages and onions evenly in the tray and carefully heat the pan on the top of the oven for a 30 seconds so the oil bubbles then pour the [[batter]] mix over the [[Sausages|sausages]]
| [[Bake]] for 30 minutes at 220° C (425° F - gas 7) on the highest shelf in the oven until risen

===Chef's notes===

I'm always trying to improve recipes, this one included. Originally I used the smaller Le Creuset cast iron rectangular dish but have had better luck using a large roasting tray. I guess more room makes for a thinner batter which gets hotter and rises better. The original results can be seen on the comments page.
