Frozen toad in the hole

13»

Comments

  • hi,
    i came across this thread while doing my own research into making toad in the hole to freeze and i thought i would share my results in case it helps.

    i used a basic yorkshire pud/toad in the hole batter and some cook from frozen sausages but i think what made mine work was i greased my foil trays and popped them in the fridge until the grease solidified, then in went the sausages and batter.

    They were frozen a few days before i tried to cook them

    when cooking the grease got good and hot so my batter rose beautifully.

    anyway i hope someone can make use of this

    Thanks for this - I had this exact same question. I've recently had some supermarket cook-from-frozen toads and they were fine but I wanted to make my own and freeze them so I could cook them fresh (single portions for me too).
    When you say you grease the foil trays, do you use a generous greasing of lard or what?
    And you say you just use a normal basic batter but there are dozens! Could I be cheeky and ask for your recipe as we know it works from frozen?
    Cheers!
