Naughty Cal Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Fancy a McDonalds? No me neither but I did fancy a muffin.So grill a slice of bacon whilst frying an egg. I used a round pastry cutter to get that "authentic" look for the egg. Before the egg is fully set add some grated cheese and cover with a small plate or similar. Lightly toast a muffin and lightly butter. Finally assemble and enjoy. Costs were £0.20 muffin, £0.15 bacon, £0.15 egg, £0.20 cheese. So about £0.70 per McMuffin which is far cheaper than the takeaway version and I have to say it was far tastier as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Cal Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ooo. Never even though. I could have cobbled together a hash brown as well. Might do that tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right so we aren't going for the authentic Maccy D's taste then?. (though to be fair to them it's not as bad as it used to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 The muffin was edible so it isn't quite the authentic McDonalds experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettie Boo Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 another version, although a "little" more effort..... de-skin a sausage, using another round pastry cutter, place sausage meat in cutter, sprinkle lightly with hot paprika & parsley, cook through; do the egg/cheese & muffin as NC describes and you have an Sausage McMuffin - simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Or just buy some sausage meat of course and shape by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luctor et emergo Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why would anybody want too replicate McDonald's 'food'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why would anybody want too replicate McDonald's 'food'? Isn't the point though that it's not being replicated? More like 'bettered'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why would anybody want too replicate McDonald's 'food'? As DH has pointed out it isnt replicating it. Its taking the idea using better ingredients and producing something that is far tastier and far cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onionbargee Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't think you'll find any McDonalds customers who have working taste buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta9 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm not a big fan of McDonalds, but the McMuffins are actually quite nice, the only thing worth buying there other than the chocolate milkshake. Shame they stop serving them so early in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcoaster Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 YUM. I am the sad git who loves McDonalds breakfasts. Especially the sausage muffin. It is impossible to buy those delicious fake round sausages anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcoaster Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I was trying to buy them rather than make them. I got really excited when I found Scottish lorne sausages (albeit they were square, not round, I wondered if the principle was the same) but no cigar. I have never tried to make them/an equivalent, but I would be prepared to have a go. I seriously think they are delicious. Breakfast crack.

John Williamson 1955 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I was trying to buy them rather than make them.

I have never tried to make them/an equivalent, but I would be prepared to have a go. I seriously think they are delicious. Breakfast crack. When you do find decent Lorne Sausages, they are truly delicious. This does tend to set them apart from any McDeadthings offering. On a forum on the far edges of the web, at:- http://forum.sausagemaking.org/viewtopic.php?t=3020 this recipe appeared:- by sausagemaker » Wed Jun 06, 2007 4:31 pm Macdonald's Pork Sausage Patty Pork (97%), Salt, Dextrose, Herb and Herb Extract, Glucose Syrup, Spice, Yeast Extract. As you will not be able to match this seasoning try the following 55% Salt 20% Dextrose 12% Cornflour 10% Mixed Herbs 2% White Pepper 1% Yeast extract (or pork stock cube) I see from your earlier comment they seem to have a lot of sage in, in this case change the mixed herbs to half sage & half mixed. I'd suggest cheap, fatty, belly pork finely minced, or whatever the butcher will sell you cheap.
