Toad in the Hole is a traditional British dish that dates back to the early 18th century. It is typically made with sausages cooked in a Yorkshire Pudding batter. This version is a fun twist on the classic, using cocktail franks to create tiny toads that are perfect for little hands. The batter gets crispy on the outside and stays soft on the inside, creating the perfect texture to enjoy with a dollop of ketchup. This recipe is a crowd-pleaser for children and adults alike.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.	Add 1/2 tablespoon of sunflower oil into each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin, then put the tray into the oven for 5 minutes.
3.	While the tin is heating up, beat the egg in a medium bowl. Then add the milk and whisk until combined. Stir in the sifted flour and mix until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
4.	Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and add a cocktail frank into each hole. Then quickly pour the batter over the top of each frank.
5.	Put the muffin tin back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the batter is golden brown and has risen.
6.	Serve with ketchup to enjoy.
