Hotdogs:

Place cubed lean beef and beef fat on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Meanwhile, prepare a mixing bowl.
Add the seasonings – paprika, garlic powder, white pepper powder, onion powder, fine sea salt and pink curing salt.

Once the lean beef and beef fat are firm enough, remove them from the fridge.
Grind into a large bowl, alternating lean beef and beef fat.
Add the mix of seasonings into the bowl.
Mix well to combine.
Put the ground beef in a food processor.
Add some ice cubes.
Blend until the ice cubes are crushed to fine pieces.
Continue to blend until smooth and thick.

Once done, transfer the dough to a flour-dusted work surface.

Roll out each piece then fold to make a small baguette-like dough.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, with an inch of space in between each dough.
Spray with a little nonstick cooking oil spray.
Cover with clingfilm for an hour to let them increase in size.
Brush each dough with eggwash.
