[Sca-cooks] white sausages

[CHARLES POTTER]

Here is one from the 1549 Banchetti

         53 D                                                     To Make White Sausages

Take a enghistara (~one quart) of milk, twelve whites of eggs, and a pound (345g) of fatty cheese grated, and a half-pound (172.5g) of wheat starch and put them in a vessel
and beat everything together well, with a pound (345g) of sugar, and a pound (345g) of seeded raisins and a ounce (28.8g) of (true) cinnamon, and one-quarter ounce (7.2g) of pepper pounded, and mix everything well together.  And take your (pork) intestines well washed, and make your sausages, as long as you want, and then put them in a cauldron of water, and give them a good boiling, and then remove them to cool and fry them in fat.

                                                                          Master B

I tried the collagen ones, as I thought they would be better and were
more easily available at the time. I have a connection with our local
butcher now for some real casings.
