INGREDIENTS

• 175g Promin Low Protein All Purpose Baking Mix
• ½ teaspoon of Salt
• 2 ½ teaspoon of Baking Powder
• 45ml Oil
• 280ml Water (use 80ml boiling to dissolve the stock cube)
• 1 Stock Cube (vegetable, beef, or chicken—to help the mixture colour whilst cooking)
• 2x 30g sachets of Promin Low Protein Sausage Mix 

METHOD

1. Empty the contents of the sausage sachets into a bowl. Add 50ml of cold water and mix together thoroughly. Set aside whilst making the pudding base.
2. Preheat your oven to 230°C (gas mark 8). Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside for later.
3. Mix the oil into the water, then stir in the dissolved stock cube to create a smooth, flavourful liquid.
4. Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, using a balloon whisk to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, even batter.
5. Lightly grease a baking tray with oil, brushing the sides gently to prevent sticking during cooking.
6. Place the tray in the oven for three minutes until the mixture begins to rise and cook lightly.
7. Roll the sausage mixture into sausage shapes on an oiled surface. Shallow fry, turning regularly for 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
8. Carefully remove the tray from the oven. Insert the prepared sausages into the batter, making a gentle slit with a knife along the length of each sausage, then push them in.
9. Return the tray to the oven and cook for a further 12–15 minutes until the pudding turns golden brown and is cooked throughout.
10. Serve hot with your favourite sides, such as creamy sweet potato mash, seasonal vegetables, and a rich, low-protein gravy to complete the meal.
11. Most importantly, the final step. Enjoy your Low Protein Toad in the Hole!
