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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Add the cold water to the mixture and use your hands to thoroughly mix it until well incorporated.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, mace, and white pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot as part of a full English breakfast or enjoy on their own with your favorite condiments.
