Bacon & Onion Toad

This dish seems so wartime, and it probably is. I haven't eaten this in about 15 years, and following a conversation with my mum earlier, I got a craving! Perfect for a rainy August day!

4oz Plain Flour
2 Eggs
150ml Milk
8 Rashers Bacon
1 Large Onion, cut into thin slices
Sunflower Oil

1, Make the batter as in advance as possible. Whisk eggs for several minutes so frothy and full of air.
2, whisk the milk in and then the flour. Beat well until there are no lumps
3, In a baking tin (i use a 7" cake tin) cook the bacon and onions on the hob until the bacon is cooked.
4, Add a tbls of oil and put back on heat (really watch your hands, it will spit) you only need a minute of heating the oil as the pan should be pretty hot.
5, add the batter and put into an oven that has been pre-heated to as high as the dial goes. Once the toad is in, you can lower the heat to 180.
6, Cook for 30 mins.

Im serving mine with garlic mash, roasted carrots and steamed broccoli.

Childhood revisited :)
