Classic ‘Toad in the Hole’

# Place 4 loaf tins or equivalent into the oven with a good drizzle of oil, leave until smoking. # Pour in some batter mix up to about an inch of the tin, place in the oven for a couple of minutes. # Remove the tins from the oven and place 2-3 sausages in the centre of each tin and return to the oven for 20-25 mins. # Place the sliced onion in a pan with a small amount of oil and sauté until soft with the addition of salt and pepper, rosemary/thyme and garlic if desired. # Once the 'toads' are cooked carefully remove from the tins and place on the serving plate top with the sautéed onions and pour over the heated gravy. # Serve immediately with a selection of garden vegetables and a good dollop of creamy mashed potato
