This is a typical English dish using Yorkshire pudding and sausages.

Batter for Yorkshire pudding:

4 oz plain flour

pinch salt

1 egg

1/2 pint milk or part milk part water for a crisper pudding.

Sieve flour and salt into basin add the egg.

Add about 1/4 of the milk or milk and water and stir until the flour is blended.

Pour in rest of liquid and beat really hard until you get a smooth thick bubbley liquid (like double cream).

Put in fridge or cold place for a couple of hours.

Then put sausages in a baking tin with some hot fat and bake for about 10 mins. depending on size.

Then pour the batter over the sausages and bake in a hot oven until the Yorkshire pudding has risen and is golden brown, about 15 mins. depending on oven.

Serve hot with lots of gravy.

Toad in the hole is a traditional English dish [1] consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with vegetables and onion gravy.

The origin of the name "Toad-in-the-Hole" is often disputed. Many suggestions are that the dish's resemblance to a toad sticking its head out of a hole provide the dish with its somewhat unusual name.[2] An 1861 recipe by Charles Elme Francatelli does not mention sausages, instead including as an ingredient "6d. or 1s. worth of bits and pieces of any kind of meat, which are to be had cheapest at night when the day's sale is over."[3] A wartime variation on the original uses pieces of Spamin place of sausages. sausages are nice The recipe itself is rather simple. A pan is placed into the oven and heated for about 15 minutes while the batter is prepared. The sausages and batter are added and cooked for half an hour. With frozen sausages, the meat is placed into the dish while heated. It is normally accompanied bygravy (often onion gravy), vegetables, chips or mashed potato.

Pending a definitive answer, I would suggest that originally the sausages could have been cut vertically and placed in the pan upright giving the appearance of two toad's eyes poking out.
