STANDARD BURGER INFORMATION

Check out my post on How to Make Burgers. Which discusses how to make the Burger Patties, their Sizes, How to cook and the Seasonings for Burger Patties. Other topics include Toasting the Buns and Wrapping the Burgers, as well as freezing the Patties.

It’s an informative post outlining the various components that come together to create your burger. The Toppings & Sauces are up to you.

English Burger Patty

The Burger Patty is a 90 g Burger Patty. But can be substituted with Bangers or other Sausages shaped into a Burger Patty. If making the Burgers from scratch, portion and shape into patties and lay them on a baking sheet to freeze. They will go directly to searing pretty much from frozen so that they can get a good sear but still stay nice and juicy.

English Burger Toppings

You got to have the English Cucumbers in there. Either Refrigerator Pickles made with English Cucumbers or sliced English Cucumbers with Salt & Pepper, optionally soaked in White Vinegar. Outside of that, you can top this off with anything including Tomatoes, Onions, Bacon, Cheese, Lettuce

Optionally, you can slice English Cucumber slices and place them into and old jar of Dill Pickles that are empty but the brine remains. Leave them in there for a few weeks to use for this Burger. This is an excellent way to reuse Pickle Brine. These can also be used for Cucumber Sandwiches.
