Toad in the hole or Sausage Toad is a traditional English dish consisting

of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with onion gravy


and vegetables. Historically, the dish has also been prepared using other

The origin of the name 'toad in the hole' is unclear. It is often thought to
refer to the sausages peeking out through the gaps in the batter.

Batter puddings only began to be popular in the early 18th century.
