Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7.
  2. Spray a 30cm x 20cm roasting tin with low calorie cooking spray, add the sausages and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, make the batter. Put the eggs, milk, flour, 75ml cold water and ½ tsp salt into a liquidiser or food processor and blend on high speed for 1 minute (or just gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ones). Set aside.
  4. Turn the sausages, evenly spacing them apart with the palest sides facing up. Quickly pour the batter mixture into the tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the batter is golden and the sausages are cooked.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the beans in a saucepan of boiling water over a high heat for 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
  6. Divide the toad between plates and serve with the green beans.
