Scotch eggs are like my comfort food. I like having these when I want to spend my time just chilling and relaxing in my balcony. It's the perfect food to serve with your favourite drink.
½cupall purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK)
¼cupbread crumbs
¼cupolive oil
Instructions
Hard-boil the eggs.
Let your eggs cool, then peel them.
Roll them in a dusting of flour. Also, you might want to dust your hands with flour.
Get a portion of the eat and wrap it around the egg like I’m wrapping an oddly-shaped gift. Smooth the edges together so the entire egg is encased in a sausage blanket. It will look nice and round.
Roll your egg-meat ball in another dusting of flour, then roll it in the beaten egg.
Pick up the dripping wrapped egg and roll it in breadcrumbs. Coat it well, and, if you want, repeat the egg/breadcrumbs routine for extra crispiness.
Fry the eggs in a deep fryer that’s set to about 300 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry those babies until they’re nice and golden brown. If you are worried that the sausage hasn’t cooked through, you can put them in the oven or microwave for a little bit.
I tend to overcook mine to be safe, so they’re not as pretty as the one at the top of this post, but they still taste amazing!
