Rustic sausage, apple & cranberry stuffing
Use a slightly stale ciabatta loaf to make this festive sausage stuffing. It has a loose, chunky texture that creates lots of delicious crispy bits
Whisk the plain flour, half the parmesan and some salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Crack the eggs into the centre and start whisking, gradually bringing in the flour until it’s all incorporated.
Gradually whisk the milk in until smooth. Rest at room temperature for 1 hr, or chill overnight, then bring the mixture out of the fridge an hour before cooking.
Heat the oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Pour 1 tsp vegetable oil into each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin, then put in the oven to heat for 10 mins. Carefully pour batter into each well, then sprinkle over a little more parmesan and bake for 15-20 mins until risen and golden. Once cool, will keep frozen for up to three months. Reheat in the oven.
