Method

Make the batter
  1. Whisk the flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper in a bowl
  2. Whisk the eggs, milk and water separately
  3. Pour half the wet into the dry and whisk until smooth then add the rest and whisk well again
  4. Rest for around 30–90 minutes
Par-roast the tray
  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C
  2. Drizzle a little oil in the tray and add sausages, leeks, sprouts and stuffing balls to a large metal roasting dish
  3. Drizzle with a little more oil and season
  4. Roast for 15 minutes until beginning to colour
Add the oil
  1. Pull the tray out and pour in the remaining oil so you have a layer around 5mm thick
  2. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the oil is shimmering hot
Add the batter
  1. Slide the rack out slightly without fully removing the tray
  2. Carefully pour the rested batter evenly around the sausages and vegetables
  3. Slide back in and close the door quickly so you don’t lose too much heat
Bake

  2. It should be deeply golden, risen high at the edges and crisp
Serve
  1. Serve immediately with onion and cranberry gravy and cranberry jelly
