A traditional Scottish recipe and an essential addition to any picnic or buffet menu.
Ingredients:
450g sausage meat
5 hard-boiled eggs, with shells removed
1 large raw egg
90g of dry breadcrumbs (approximately)
Pinch of
mace, salt and freshly-ground pepper
Small quantity of flour
1 tbsp of water
Method:
Place the sausage meat in a bowl and season with ground mace, salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Divide into five equal portions then dust an egg with flour before wrapping it evenly in the sausage meat. Set aside and repeat with the other eggs. When all the eggs are covered beat the raw egg and water together and use this to coat the sausage meat-covered egg. Next dip the egg in the breadcrumbs and dip back in the beaten egg before dipping back in the breadcrumbs (this ensures a thick and even coating).
Immediately dip the egg in a deep fat fryer pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Cook the egg until the breadcrumb coating becomes a deep golden brown in colour. Transfer to kitchen paper and repeat the process with the other Scotch eggs.
They can be served either hot with a chilli dipping sauce of they can be served cold. (They will also keep in the refrigerator for two days so that you can prepare them well beforehand if you need to).
