Fed up with eggs? Hope not...

Because here's how to make Scotch eggs

Sausage meat (we made our own). Enough to coat the number of eggs you need - about 1 cm thick)

Hard-boiled eggs (boil for 8 mins should be about right)

One raw beaten egg

Flour

Breadcrumbs (some big and some smaller)

Grated onion

Milk (four tablespoons)

Thyme (sprinkling)

Here is Jake grating breadcrumbs. We used half a loaf altogether)

Mix the minced pork with some largish breadcrumbs,
grated onion and a sprinkling of thyme. Roll the hard-boiled eggs in flour.
Now take two lumps of the sausagemeat mixture and
mould it evenly round each hard-boiled egg. If you only use one lump and try and squash it round a whole egg, you may find the coat kind of explodes and the egg starts popping out.

Coat al the eggs.

Turn your computer sideways ;o). Mix four tablesppons
of milk with a raw beaten egg.


Dip the Scotch eggs in the egg and milk mixture.

Roll them in the small breadcrumbs.

Jake got quite fast at it. Make them nice and even.

So they look something like this.

Get an adult to heat the oil. Fry the Scotch eggs.

Then when they are nice and golden brown, take them out and
slice them in half with a knife dipped in hot water.
We missed the yolk with this one but Jake doesn't like yolks
so that was perfect!

This one...

...worked better.

When they are all done, garnish with tomatoes and serve hot or cold.

Watson loved them.
Here he is in his Easter bonnet.
Very chic!
