Here's a popular snack for picnics in Scotland. Not very healthy, perhaps, but yummy!
Ingredients:
5 hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 lb sausage meat
1 egg, slightly beaten
1tbs water
3 oz approx dry breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste
pinch mace (optional)
flour
fat or oil for frying
Directions:
1. Coat the boiled eggs in a little flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
2. Mix mace, salt and pepper with sausage, then divide sausage into 5 equal portions.
3. Pat out into rounds, then wrap each round around an egg, making sure they're all covered with no gaps.
4. Mix the water with the beaten egg, dip each wrapped egg in it, then roll in the breadcrumbs.
5. Deep fry in hot (360-375d) 5 or 6 minutes, or fry in a skillet in deep oil, turning frequently to make sure they're evenly cooked, until golden brown.
6. Drain, cut in half if you'd like.
7. Serve hot or cold.
