1 tsp Pepper powder
3 tbsp All-purpose flour
1 tsp Mixed spice

Method : Combined all the ingredients. Shapped it into 10pcs patty.


Notes :
1) Choose 20% fat contain minced meat.

2) Shapping patty :
    Floured both hands while forming patties from sticking to the hand.
    Shaped the patty about 1cm uniform thickness;
    1.5 cm larger than the diameter of bun;
    gently make dimple 2cm in diameter in the middle.

3) Once gently placed the patty on the cooking surface leave it alone
    so the meat has time to develope crust. If you try to turn it too early
    the patty will stick or fall apart. Turn the patty once and never press
    it with the spatula. Pressing will force juices out, resulting in a dry burger.
