Method

Wipe the ducklings and rub a little salt into the skin. Prick the surface all over with the prongs of a fork and place the ducklings in a roasting tin. Add 2 tablespoons cold water – no fat. Set the tin in the centre of a moderate oven (180°C., 350°F., Gas Mark 4) and roast, allowing 25 minutes per
