Hi Robin

I afraid my New Years over so here's a recipe to be going on with until Parson gets back.

1/2 lb. leeks

Seasoning
2 1/4 oz. salt
3/4 oz. ground white pepper

Method
Suet and leeks are broken down coarsely on a mincer, seasoning added, and all the ingredients well mixed. Filled into ox runners or wide hog casings, not too tightly, tied off into 1 lb. rings, and boiled for about 30 minutes.

Thanks Sausagemaker. I'm planning a biker's breakfast for some of my motorbike pals (my other hobby) and I'd like to do everything home made. Thought it would be nice to do white pudding as well. I've located some recipies for the French version with lots of eggs and cream but I'd prefer to do a British white pudding if possible.

This should work out fine as do most of his recipes. The book (written predominately for the UK market) has been around since 1935; with numerous revisons; and I would recommend that if you ever get a chance to pick up a copy do so.

Welcome to the forum culsal�

Please tell me what size mincer plate do you use for this recipe. Also what casings are best?

EDIT: what happened to culsal� post? he posted this.

This is an authentic recipe for white puddings or 'boudins blancs' I was given some years ago in France. We started with 65kg of meat on that occasion, but the proportions are as follows:
6.5kg fresh pork belly with plenty of fat
3.5 litres of milk
1.5kg onions
knob of butter
salt - approx 20grams per kilo
pepper - approx 5grams per kilo

Method

Remove rind from belly, cut the meat in pieces and chill.
Finely chop the onion, sweat gently in butter without colour and allow to cool.
Mince the pork and onions and place in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the milk. The mixture should be quite soft and runny. I sometimes use a bit less milk, adding a beaten egg and a pot of double cream instead. Before filling the skins, check the seasoning in the normal way by frying a little of the mixture in a pan.

Make generous puddings as they tend to shrink. I tie each one off with string rather than attempt to twist them. Once this operation is complete, gently lower the puddings into a large pan of simmering water and bring back quickly to simmering point. Poach gently for twenty minutes WITHOUT BOILING and remove from the liquid to drain and cool.

These boudins are delicious barbecued on a gentle charcoal fire. They should be succulent, delicate and creamy. We serve them with soft, creamed potato (what the french call 'pur�e') and apple quarters fried in butter - russets if possible, but coxes will do.

Well that was weird!

Thanks for your greeting Oddley,

I confess to having much more experience eating sausages than making them. My favourite is the 'andouillette' or tripe sausage, a well-made example of which must surely be the pinnacle of the sausagemaker's art, although some might contend with this view. The casings I use for both my white puddings and sausages are preserved in salt and were bought from a supplier in France while I was on holiday. I suppose they are hog casings but cannot be certain. They cost me 16 euros and seem to do the job.

For the modest quantities I make at home I use a Spong 25 hand mincer. It has a single plate with 1/4 " holes. I've lost the plastic grips and I'm so fed up with it working loose and sliding about all over the place when I turn the handle that I've just upgraded to an electric grinder. I think using a slightly finer plate might be an improvement. I'll let you know when the barbecue season begins!

Thank you culsal� for reposting it was like something from the twilight zone last night when your post was there and then not.

I was hoping you would return as you recipe looked so good. I will definitely try it. Please don't hesitate to post on this forum as we are all interested in sausage from any source and I hope quite friendly.

Please have a look around there are some gems posted and you might find a recipe that you enjoy.

If you have any other recipes you would like to share they will receive a warm welcome.

Yes that's strange. I never saw the original reply on the forum but got it as a personal E Mail. I'll most likely give this a go as well.
