Ingredients

1 lb Blanched Almonds
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
6 Eggs
1 Tbl Rosewater
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tsp Mace
1/2 cup Heavy Cream (warmed)
1/4 cup Beef Fat (minced)
Collagen Casings

Steps

  • Grind almonds a little coarsely (Cuisinart). Mix in bread crumbs, egg yolks, rosewater, sugar, mace, cream, suet.
  • Fill casings. Twist into 4-5" lengths. Boiled 15 minutes. All the casings had split and peeled off easily.

Notes

Used whole eggs; should have just been yolks.
Used 39" of casing. Probably wants 50".
Use actual suet next time or maybe butter
Constance & Yevsha don't like the rosewater.
Maybe boil less time.
Grind almonds even finer?
