Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Sift the flour and add the rosemary. Add the eggs, milk and 125ml water. Beat until the batter is smooth, then chill for 30 mins.
  2. Put the onion wedges, carrots and parsnips in a medium roasting tin. Drizzle over half the oil, season and toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated. Roast for 25 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, make the stuffing balls. Blitz the bread to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the chopped onion. Cook for 5 mins until softened. Tip the onion into a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, remaining stuffing ball ingredients, 1 tbsp of cold water and season well. Mix well until everything is fully combined. Use damp hands to shape the mixture into 8 balls and set aside.
  4. Remove the vegetables from the roasting tin and set aside. Increase the oven temperature to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Add the remaining oil to the roasting tin. Return to the oven for 10 mins to heat the oil.
  5. Pour the batter into the roasting tin. Scatter over the roasted vegetables, beetroot and stuffing balls. Bake for 30-35 mins or until the batter has risen and is golden all over.
