Instructions (6)
  1. Buy bits or pieces of any kind of meat, which are to be had cheapest at night when the day's sale is over.
  2. Carefully overlook the pieces of meat to ascertain if there be any necessity to pare away some tainted part, or perhaps a fly-blow, as this, if left on any one piece of meat, would tend to impart a bad taste to the whole, and spoil the dish.
  3. Rub a little flour, pepper, and salt all over the meat.
  4. Fry the meat brown with a little butter or fat in the frying-pan.
  5. Put the fried meat with the fat in which it has been fried into a baking-dish containing some Yorkshire or suet pudding batter, made as directed at Nos. 57 and 58.
  6. Bake the toad-in-the-hole for about an hour and a half, or else send it to the baker's.
Original Text
No. 59. Toad in the Hole. To make this a cheap dinner, you should buy 6d. or 1s. worth of bits or pieces of any kind of meat, which are to be had cheapest at night when the day's sale is over. The pieces of meat should be first carefully overlooked, to ascertain if there be any necessity to pare away some tainted part, or perhaps a fly-blow, as this, if left on any one piece of meat, would tend to impart a bad taste to the whole, and spoil the dish. You then rub a little flour, pepper, and salt all over the meat, and fry it brown with a little butter or fat in the frying-pan; when done, put it with the fat in which it has been fried into a baking-dish containing some Yorkshire or suet pudding batter, made as directed at Nos. 57 and 58, and bake the toad-in-the-hole for about an hour and a half, or else send it to the baker's.
