Markham has a wonderful stuffing.
I use:
1/2 cup of cream (usually whipping, but sometimes heavy)
2 egg yolks
nuts, currants, and/or raisins
Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to taste
Touch of salt
Touch of sugar
Finely ground breadcrumbs to make doughy, but not crumbly
This stuffs a 4-5 lb roaster fairly well. It swells some, but makes a very
dense, moist stuffing.
Caveat: I am at work, typing this from memory. My style of cooking relies
*very* heavily on tactile sensation and smell. I don't measure because that
can just confuse me: I tend to work in something like ratios.
