Step-by-step
- Make the batter: sift the flour into a bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the eggs and a little milk. Blend to a smooth paste, then gradually whisk in the remaining milk until the batter has the pouring consistency of cream.
- Add the chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper, and whisk again.
- In another bowl, combine the sausagemeat, leek, sage, and parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Shape into 12 balls and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onions, and cook for a few minutes until soft but not coloured. Transfer one-third of the onions to one large ovenproof dish or four small dishes. Set aside the remainder.
- Add the sausage balls to the onions in the dish and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C/fan 200°C/425°F/gas mark 7 for about 10 minutes until brown.
- Add the batter mixture, and return at once to the oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the batter is risen and golden.
- Meanwhile, add the plain flour to the onions in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually blend in the milk and stock. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Serve the toad in the hole hot, sprinkled with parsley, with the sauce on the side.
