About Toad in the hole

Toad in the Hole is a traditional British dish made of sausages baked in a Yorkshire pudding batter, which is similar to a pancake batter. It originated in the United Kingdom and has been a staple of comfort food since the 18th century. A serving provides protein from the sausages and carbohydrates from the batter, along with small amounts of micronutrients like iron and calcium depending on the ingredients used. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, particularly if made with processed or high-fat sausages. The nutritional profile will vary significantly based on the choice of sausage and any additional ingredients or toppings included.
