Toad in the Hole. — One pound sausages, four table- spoonfuls of flour, three gills of milk, one egg, one tea-spoon- ful salt, one salt-spoonful pepper. Prick the sausages all over with a fork, place them in a pie-dish, place the pie-dish in a quick oven, and bake the sausages for fifteen minutes. Place in a basin the flour. Add the salt and pepper. Drop into the centre of the flour the yolk of egg. Pour over the yolk of egg a very little of the milk, and begin to stir in the flour from the sides. Continue to do this until all the flour is moistened and about STEWED STEAK — STUFFED OX HEART. 275 half the milk is used. Beat this mixture well with a wooden spoon until it begins to rise in little bells. Add then the remainder of the milk, and stir all well together. Place on a dry plate the white of egg, and with a dry knife whip it to a very stiff froth. Stir in very lightly the white of egg to the mixture in the basin. When the sausages have baked fifteen minutes, pour the mixture in the basin over them, and bake the whole for fifteen minutes longer.
