Toad of Toad Hall - recipe


I promise that you will love it. It is a William original
Ingredients:
285 ml milk
115 g plain flour (all purpose in the US)
6 pieces of streaky bacon - as fatty as possible
3 eggs
salt
pepper
sprigs of rosemary

Preheat the oven as hot as it can get for 20 minutes
mix the eggs, flour and milk into a batter. Easy if you have an electric whisk but if mixing by hand start with a thick dough of the flour and milk and gradually add the rest of the milk then the eggs (otherwise you will get lumps!)
place the bacon on the bottom of a shallow roasting tin and place it in the hot oven, turning and shaking it a bit until it is crispy.
While the pan is very (and contains all the bacon fat) hot throw in the rosemary and pour in the batter.
Put back in the oven - the hotter the better and cook until risen and brown - 10 -20 minutes.
Don't open the door till it has risen and browned.
serve it with anything you like or just on its own
A wonderful fat-free healthy meal.
Let me know how you get on!

Comments:
sounds good, but i think the sausages are important!
I made mince pies this evening!

I made one the other night- but with sausages from the favorite butcher in Launton. The hot oven leads to a really good flavour.

Just got a free wall clock with our dinner in the bashundora Indian restaurant in Sutton Coldfield. Chicken Jalfreze was pretty hot!

Now sitting at Hollylands, feeling like 4 pints of Kingfisher was enough!

You need to post some pictures of the new Honda, and any recent watch additions- perhaps a full inventory?
