Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
- 8 Sausages (ensure they’re gluten-free)
- 150g Plain gluten-free flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Eggs
- 200ml Semi-skimmed milk
- 50ml Water
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 220°C (425°F). While it’s heating up, grab your 8-inch square tin and add the sunflower oil and sausages. Give everything a good roll around to ensure the sausages are nicely coated in oil.
- Pop the tin into the hot oven and let it cook for about 10 minutes. We’re aiming for the sausages to get a bit of colour, but don’t worry if they’re not fully cooked – they’ll finish cooking in the batter later.
- While the sausages are browning, let’s prepare our batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and a pinch of salt. Crack in the eggs and whisk vigorously until you’ve got a smooth, thick paste. Don’t worry if it looks a bit gloopy at this stage – that’s perfectly normal!
- Now, gradually add about a third of the milk to your flour mixture, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. Once it’s smooth, pour in the rest of the milk and the water. Keep whisking until your batter is silky smooth and lump-free.
- After 10 minutes, carefully remove the hot tin with the sausages from the oven. Working quickly (but carefully!), pour your batter around the sausages. Listen for that satisfying sizzle!
- Return the tin to the oven, but reduce the temperature to 200°C (390°F). Now, here’s the tricky bit – resist the urge to open the oven door for at least 25 minutes. I know it’s tempting, but opening the door too soon can make your batter sink, and we want it nice and puffy!
- After about 30 minutes, or when your Toad in the Hole is gloriously puffed up and golden brown, it’s ready to come out. The batter should be crispy on the outside and slightly soft in the middle.
- Serve immediately while it’s hot and crispy. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free Toad in the Hole!

Gluten-Free Toad In The Hole Recipe tips
Here are some tips to help you make the most out of my gluten free toad in the hole recipe:
Avoid Cross-Contamination
If you’re preparing gluten free toad in the hole in a kitchen that is not entirely gluten-free, take precautions to avoid cross-contamination.
Use separate utensils, cutting boards, and cooking surfaces to prevent gluten from coming into contact with the ingredients.
When possible do not use wooden utensils, cutting boards, and rolling pins that are used with gluten.
Label items
Consider buying two of certain shared food items like jam, and butter, dedicate one, and label it as gluten-free.
Cooking oil
Use separate oils to fry gluten-free foods as they will become contaminated and not safe to eat.
Personal Hygiene
Always wash your hands with hot water and soap before you handle any ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! Simply swap the semi-skimmed milk for your favourite plant-based milk. Unsweetened almond or oat milk work well.
What type of gluten-free flour works best?
I find that a plain gluten-free flour blend works best. Look for one that contains xanthan gum, as this helps with the texture of the batter.
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes, you can make the batter a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge. Just give it a good whisk before using.
My batter didn’t rise. What went wrong?
The most common reason for flat batter is opening the oven door too soon. Remember, patience is key – resist peeking for at least 25 minutes!
Can I use vegetarian sausages?
Certainly! Just make sure they’re gluten-free and follow the cooking instructions on the package, as they may need less time to brown initially.
How do I store leftovers?
On the off chance you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
Can I freeze Toad in the Hole?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it. Wrap individual portions well and freeze for up to a month. Thaw completely before reheating in the oven.
