Toad-in-the-Hole

Not a dish for sophisticates, but an excellent way of stretching half a pound of chipolatas into a solid meal for four people. Children, especially, love it. If you have time, I suggest braising the sausages in the oven at 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4) for 45 minutes with a little stock, gravy or butter and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, to encourage them to sweat out some of their lye, and remove that raw pink appearance. Drain them on absorbent kitchen paper to remove excess fat.
