Recipes for all sausages

Postby kimgary » Mon May 10, 2010 12:25 pm

Thanks for the recipe.
Newbie here so a couple of questions please:-
Do you use dextrose in many sausage recipes? and if so what brand.
What are the main benefits of using dextrose?
Hope these are not stupid questions.
Regards Gazza.

hi kimgary, Welcome to the forum.

1: I use Dextrose in some sausage, where I think it needs a little sweetness. As dextrose is basically glucose, then buy any brand that your chemist sells.

2: The main benefit in fresh sausage, is to add sweetness and also, it benefits the browning properties of the sausage.

You can basically use any sugar, though dextrose/glucose is the best for sausage making. If you use sucrose (common refined sugar), increase the amount of dextrose used by 1.43 (ie if 2 Tablespoons of Sucrose are mentioned replace this with 1.43 * 2 = 2.86 Tablespoons of dextrose) or decrease the sugar content to 0.7 to equal a dextrose content ie: for every 1 Tablespoon of dextrose use 0.7 tablespoons of sugar.

Although, as sweetness is comparative, the above is really a starting point.

Cheers Oddley.
Thought it was for sweetness but was not aware of the browning function.
I would'nt touch a Mc for anything but thought our kids, youngest 22 yrs would be impressed, of course I shall have to do the eggs on the gridle in egg rings and cut the cheese square out with a pastry ring.
Feel like taking it the whole way and printing my own paper bags!!!
Thanks for the reply, this forum is a credit to you all, everything in one place, from rearing livestock to making cheese etc, the internet is a wonderfull thing.
Looking forward to many happy hours.
Regards Gazza.

Thanks for the recipe Oddley, my son enjoys the McD's sausage so we thought we'd give it a try. But while looking for marmite locally I started to wonder if maybe they use a different recipe here in the states then they do across the pond, and what is spot on to your family would be the same to mine. I guess we'll have to make some to find out.

Hi DanMcG,

You are quite right that the recipe may not be the same in the States. If you could get the ingredients declaration, from McDonald's website and post it, I'm sure that we could cobble the recipe together.

But there again, it may be the same. Their burger recipe is.

If you do try it and it is the same, please post back as it may help your countrymen.

Might need to add some ammonia hydroxide to get the authentic taste.

[quote=Film]As a result American beef companies are making ‘‘safe’’ hamburger meat filler by treating the beef — with ammonia hydroxide. Seventy per cent of US hamburgers contain beef treated with ammonia.[/quote] :P

I have been wondering about the difference in recipe's between the UK and USA.

Well, here are the ingredient declarations. Top one, posted by sausagemaker, the other by McDonalds
here.

sausagemaker wrote:Macdonald's Pork Sausage Patty UK:
Pork (97%), Salt, Dextrose, Herb and Herb Extract,
Glucose Syrup, Spice, Yeast Extract.


McDonald's wrote:Sausage Patty USA:
Pork, whey protein concentrate, water, salt, corn syrup solids, sugar, spices, dextrose, monosodium glutamate, spice extractives, caramel color, BHA and BHT and propyl gallate and citric acid (preservatives). CONTAINS: MILK.


To be honest, I think the recipe posted by sausagemaker seems to be the healthiest, followed by the recipe by Big Guy. For those in the USA, it may be, if you changed the mixed herbs for sage in sausagemaker's recipe, then the recipe could be quite close to what you are looking for.

I must say that I don't eat Mc D very often. but having just returned from Aussie, I can say that the sausage in the breakfast muffin tasted completely different from that in the UK.. Couldn't identify the different flavours though.

If I want a sausage muffin I will take the skins off of one of my normal sausages.

I have never had one (sausage)
Have only ever had Maccas 3 or 4 times in my life.
Hamburgers from the Fish and Chip shop are a million times better.
I rarely eat out, usually make my own everything.
