Method
Put the fresh mince into a chilled bowl, season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fry off a tiny bit on the pan to check the seasoning, correct if necessary.
Shape into burgers, 4-6 depending on the size you require.
Wrap each one loosely in pork caul fat if using.
Cook to your taste on a medium-hot grill pan in a little oil, turning once. Little tip: If the hamburgers are being cooked in batches make sure to wash and dry the pan between batches.
