Scots Eggs |
*Also called Scotch Eggs, are served for breakfast, or as a savory, but also
make a very useful picnic dish served with a salad.
Ingredients
10 eggs (8 hard-boiled)
4 oz. (1 cup) approx. breadcrumbs (crisp)
1 1/2 lb. pork sausage-meat Deep oil for frying
A pinch of mace
Salt and pepper
Directions
Boil 8 of the eggs for 10 minutes in boiling water, then drain and let them
run under the cold tap, and when cool, shell them. Beat up one of the
remaining eggs and add 1 tablespoon cold water. Season the sausage-meat and
add the mace, then dip the hard-boiled eggs into the beaten egg, and cover
each one entirely with the sausage-meat, pressing it on with the hands.
Beat up the remaining egg and gently roll them in this, then dip them in the
breadcrumbs (you may need slightly more than the amount given, depending on
the size of the eggs) again pressing the breadcrumbs into the sausage-meat.
Have the oil good and hot and fry them singly until the outside is golden
brown. Lift up with the basket, and drain well before serving either hot
with mustard, or cold with a chopped raw apple and celery salad dressed with
3 tablespoons olive oil to 1 of wine vinegar. Serves 4.
