Scotch Eggs

Description

When making Scotch eggs it’s important to keep two things in mind; firstly your sausage meat has to be thin, if its too thick it may not cook all the way through and secondly the egg needs to be well sealed so that it doesn’t break open in the fryer. The second egg wash really helps with this so it’s an important step to follow.
