I found a couple of recipes for you, I have not made this yet but I did buy the sausage maker attachment for my Kitchen Aid

Kielbasa

1 1/2 lb pork loin or boston butt

1/2 pound veal

salt and pepper

1 clove garlic crushed

1 teaspoon crushed marjoram

run meat thru a coarse grinder (local butcher should be able to do this for you)
Add 3 or 4 teaspoons of water,garlic,salt and pepper to taste and the marjoram

Mix thoroughly and stuff casing. Now ready to smoke, if you do not have the ability to smoke you could add a drop of liquid smoke to the recipe.

to cook Place in a baking dish cover with liquid ( beer or water) and Bake at 325 - 350 until water is absorbed.

*************************************************************

6     Feet large (2-1/2-inch diameter) hog casings
3 pounds    Lean pork butt, cubed
1 pounds    Lean beef chuck, cubed
½ pounds    Veal, cubed
½ pounds    Pork fat, cubed
2½ teaspoon    Salt, or to taste
3 teaspoons    Finely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons    Ground marjoram
2 teaspoons    Ground summer savory
½ teaspoon    Ground allspice
3     Cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons    Sweet paprika

1. Prepare the casings.

2. Grind the meats and fat together through the coarse disk.

3. Mix the remaining ingredients with the meat.

4. Stuff the casings and leave the sausage in long links. Lengths of eighteen inches to two feet are traditional.

5. Allow the sausage to dry in a cool place for three or four hours or refrigerate for twenty-four hours uncovered.

6. Cook by roasting in a 425~ F. oven for forty-five minutes. These sausages are also excellent grilled over a charcoal fire

I've never had any luck making biscuits with the flour here so I bring back my own Southern flour when I go home (it's a winter wheat which you can't get here although I've heard that cake flour is similar).  Then I just use the recipe on the White Lily bag like my Granny did. 

One important trick is not to work the dough too much or it will get tough and the biscuits won't be very fluffy.  You'll know if they're going to turn out good if they make a air sound when you cut them out.  If you crowd them on the baking sheet they'll be crispy - if you want softer biscuits spread them out.

My husband and stepson love American biscuits but when I try to explain them to other Brits they never get it.  Let alone trying to describe how good chicken biscuits are for breakfast.  I'd give anything for a Biscuitville or Chick Fil-a!!

You are spot on about working the dough the less you work it the better the biscuits but I think you have it backwards on the crowd and spread out tip.

Spread out they are crispy and crowded they are softer, at least when I cook them.

I always cook spread out.

thanks, believe me they are easy, the trick is sift 3 times and then when kneading the dough, work it as little as possible and pat them to the thickness you like. I never beat my biscuit because I like them light and fluffy.

Also use room temp butter/margarine not melted in the mircowave as hot butter will keep them from rising to their full potential ;)

Some breakfast sausage (maple) and a VERY first attempt..
Thanks Jewlz!



They tasted okay.. I was thinking I was going to get like McDonalds flavoured and it wasnt quite there. Im going to freeze the rest and reheat when needed. Maybe add some sage next time?

Yeah, it's all about finding the right blend for you. You just need to experiment with it a bit. Did you use the pork mince or ground sausage meat? It's best to use the sausage meat, if you can get it, as it has more fat in it. You can get it from your local butcher, but I've seen it at our small local Sainsburys, so it shouldn't be hard to find.

Yeah, thats what Im going to do next time.. Just keep trying until I get what I want. What was made was still nice though, wouldnt put them in the bin...

I was in Waitrose and picked up some minced pork. They had sausage meat, but it was already seasoned (clearly, they are getting ready for Christmas) so just went with what was unseasoned. The next time I get to the large Sainsburys, Ill give them a look as well. The medium sized Sainsburys in town is hit or miss with what they have in stock. I have a hard enough time trying to get chicken breasts in that branch...

I really need to find a decent local butcher. I know of a GREAT one, but they are on the other side of town and would take almost an hour to get there by using public transport..
