Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground mace
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and breadcrumbs.
Add the cold water to the mixture and use your hands to thoroughly mix it until well incorporated.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, mace, and white pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
If you’re making sausage patties, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into round patties about 1 cm thick. For traditional sausages, you can stuff the mixture into sausage casings if desired.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Fry the sausage patties (or sausages) in the hot oil for about 6–8 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, transfer the sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot as part of a full English breakfast or enjoy on their own with your favorite condiments.
