Packed lunch ideas: Mini Toad in a hole

My children love their Toad in a hole for supper so last week I did a trial run on miniature 'Toads' cooked in muffin cups. They loved them, I asked if they would be happy to have these as packed lunch and I got squeals and jumps of excitement.
So last night I made these; very easy, no additives, no preservatives, economical and most of all children will enjoy them.

Yorkshire Pudding recipe:
Serving: 3 children
62g plain flour
1 egg
150mls milk
Pinch salt
1 1/2tbs olive oil (avoid using dripping this time as children will be eating this cold and dripping will congeal when cold)
3 sausages halved and skin removed
Preheat oven to 200C
Divide oil into six muffin tray holes and place tray in oven for oil to heat up
Mix together the pudding ingredients and whisk till smooth and lump free.
Divide mixture into the hot cups and gently drop a half sausage in each slot
Return to oven and cook for 25minutes.
Cool completely before packing into the lunch boxes
I added 1frubes yoghurt, carrot and cucumber sticks, a cup cake and Capri-sun for a drink plus water for the day.
Cost: less than £1 per head for the whole lunch and it will all be eaten up.
