Cube pork butt and pork belly into smaller pieces for grinding.

Place cubed meat in the fridge to keep it cold until ready to grind.

Mix all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Add water to the dry ingredients and mix until a cohesive dough forms.

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes to relax the gluten.

Roll out the dough to about half an inch thick and place on a baking sheet.

Bake in a 450°F oven for 10-15 minutes until slightly cooked.

Lower the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for another 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until the dough is dry.

Remove from the oven and let cool before grinding into breadcrumbs.

Combine the breadcrumbs (Rusk) with kosher salt, black pepper, white pepper, sage, ground thyme, mace, nutmeg, and cayenne in a bowl.

Grind the chilled meat through a coarse grinder.

Mix the ground meat with the spice mixture and add water until tacky.

Stuff the mixture into natural hog casings, tying off at intervals to form sausages.

Coil the sausages as traditional Cumberland sausages are made.
