3. Wash the goose inside and out (reserving the giblets and neck if present) and pat dry with kitchen paper. Fill the cavity of the goose with the stuffing, then close the opening with trussing skewers or sew up with a needle and thread.
4. Place the goose in a roasting tin, breast side down and bake in the over for 1-1/2 hours, drawing off the fat as it accumulates.

Mix the cornflour with a little water to form a running paste.
