Toad in the Hole disaster

[kayah]

It didn't bake in time...

I guess I put too much batter in the dish
when you put batter into it how deep is it?

What kind of dish would you do to bake it in?
I used glass one - maybe bottom didn't warm enough...

What should the consistency of batter be?
Like for the panacakes?

I would also appreciate some comments on Delia's proportions - are they OK in your oppinion?

For the batter:
3 oz (75 g) plain flour
1 large egg
3 fl oz (75 ml) semi-skimmed milk
salt and freshly milled black pepper
2 fl oz (55 ml) water

This came out quite thin so I added some more flour, was I right to do it?

it was consistency I would have for my panacakes

dish wasn't warmed

it has risen though :)

and def it was one inch deep - so I was right about that

Mine usually rises & is crispy at the sides but the bottom seems soggy.

Any suggestions?

It´s an improvement from the first time I made small Yorkshire puds though-the non stick coating came out stuck to the bottom of them!

I par cook my sausages on the hob whilst my tin is heating up in the oven. The oil/fat needs to be smoking when you put the batter in which should be the consistency of single cream.

Glass dish would not get hot enough - needs to be metal and needs to be heated beforehand so the batter sizzles when you add it.

metal or ceramic dish. You need to put oil in the bottom and heat until it smokes then put the batter in. I half cook the sausages too before I put them in the batter.
