Scotch Eggs

PREP TIME 30 MINUTES
COOKING TIME 10 MINUTES


INGREDIENTS
7 small eggs
4 good quality pork sausages
4 tbsp plain(all- purpose) flour
75 gm i.e 2 1/2 Oz/ 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2-3 litres or say about 8-12 cups of sunflower oil

Now,
. Put 6 of the eggs in a pan of cold water then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Cool, then peel off the shells.
. Skin the sausages and divide the meat into 6. Flatten a portion of sausage meat onto your hand and put the boiled egg in the centre, then lightly squeeze the meat round the outside to coat. Repeat with the other 5 eggs.
. Put the flour, remaining egg and the panko breadcrumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dip the scotch eggs first in the flour, then in egg, then in the breadcrumbs.
. Heat the oil in the deep fryer up to the temperature of 180*c.
. Lower the scotch eggs in the fryer basket and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve immediately.

If you want the running yolk or the hard boiled, you could always adjust the timing of the boiling process of the eggs. Its really easy to make. Hope you guys give it try. And if you happen to any variations to this simple scotch eggs then please feel free to share. Enjoy & Cheers.
