Chill the meat in the freezer for a bit to firm it up.

Grind the chilled meat using a meat grinder.

Mix the ground meat with spices and high temp milk powder using a sausage mixer until well combined.

Add water to the mixture and continue mixing for about five minutes until the texture is tacky.

Stuff the sausage mixture into hog casings, ensuring no air pockets are present.

Tie off the ends of the sausages and snip the tips.

Hang the sausages on a piece of string at room temperature overnight to dry out.
