Approx 25% fat at least, I've found works best. Pork fat is considered best but mutton is just as good(my best ever batch was when I chucked a dirty old sheep in the mix). Plenty of recipes on the net.
-Salt,pepper,water
-Something to bind it with like meal,crushed up biscuits, bread crumbs.Have heard but never tried but if you use enough fat they wont require a binding additive.(for the gluten free)
-Don't go to crazy by adding too many flavours at once. Keep it simple those basic things will provide most of the flavour.
- Make them up in small batch's so if there is a stuff up you wont have kilos of yuck sausages and try before you put them in cases.
-Let it set over night in the fridge before putting them into cases helps with flavour.
-Don't over fill the cases otherwise they'll split when you twist them up.
-Don't make the same mistake I did and just bung a whole lot of ingredients in and NOT write anything down and have them turn out awesome. Have never been able to make another batch the same.
