SCOTCH EGGS RECIPE - BBC FOOD



Scotch eggs recipe - BBC Food image

Homemade Scotch eggs are a world away from shop bought versions. They're worth the effort for a special picnic treat.

Provided by Simon Rimmer

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large free-range eggs
275g/10oz sausage meat
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 spring onion, very finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
125g/4oz plain flour, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 free-range egg, beaten
125g/4oz breadcrumbs
vegetable oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Place the eggs, still in their shells, in a pan of cold salted water.
  • Place over a high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for exactly nine minutes.
  • Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, then peel.
  • Mix the sausage meat with the thyme, parsley and spring onion in a bowl and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper (Simon recommends being generous with the freshly ground black pepper).
  • Divide the sausage meat mixture into four and flatten each out on a clean surface into ovals about 12.5cm/5in long and 7.5cm/3in at its widest point.
  • Place the seasoned flour onto a plate, then dredge each boiled egg in the flour.
  • Place each onto a sausage meat oval, then wrap the sausage meat around each egg. Make sure the coating is smooth and completely covers each egg.
  • Dip each sausage meat-coated egg in the beaten egg, rolling to coat completely, then dip and roll into the breadcrumbs to completely cover.
  • Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan, until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
  • Carefully place each scotch egg into the hot oil and deep-fry for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp and the sausage meat is completely cooked.
  • Carefully remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Serve cool.

Use a few chef's tricks to create the perfect sausage and egg snack with this step-by-step recipe

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course, Snack

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large eggs
300g good-quality pork sausage, skinned
1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
140g cooked ham, shredded
25g sage, apple & onion stuffing mix
1 tsp chopped sage
1 tsp chopped thyme
1 tsp chopped parsley
100g plain flour, seasoned, plus extra for dusting
100g dried breadcrumbs
sunflower oil, for frying
piccalilli, to serve

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of salted water to a rapid boil, then lower four of the eggs into the pan and simmer for 7 mins 30 secs exactly. Scoop out and place in a bowl of iced water, cracking the shells a little (this makes them easier to peel later). Leave them to cool completely, then peel and set aside. Can be boiled the day before.
  • Put the sausagemeat, pepper, ham, stuffing and herbs in a small bowl, mix to combine, then divide into four equal balls. Squash one of the balls between a piece of cling film until it’s as flat as possible. One at a time, lightly flour each cooked egg, then use the cling film to help roll the sausagemeat around the egg to completely encase. Repeat with the remaining sausageballs and eggs.
  • Beat the remaining egg and put on a plate. Put the flour and breadcrumbs on two separate plates. Roll the encased eggs in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Can be prepared up to a day in advance.
  • To cook the eggs, heat 5cm of the oil in a wide saucepan or wok until it reaches 160C on a cooking thermometer or until a few breadcrumbs turn golden after 10 secs in the oil. Depending on the size of your pan, lower as many eggs as you can into the oil, and cook for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper, leave to cool a little, then serve halved with some piccalilli.

MARY BERRY EASY HOMEMADE DROP SCONES RECIPE (SCOTCH P…
As seen on her BBC series, Classic, Mary Berry's easy-to-follow recipe for drop scones is a perfect brunch dish or tea-time treat.
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
  • 1. Measure the flour, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl and add the orange zest. Mix together, then make a well in the centre and add the egg and half the milk. Beat well, with a whisk, until you have a smooth thick batter, then beat in enough of the remaining milk to make a batter the consistency of thick pouring cream.

    2. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Drop the batter in dessertspoonfuls into the hot pan, spacing each dollop of the mixture well apart to allow it to spread. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface, then turn over with a non-stick blunt-ended palette knife or spatula, and cook on the other side for a further 30–60 seconds or until lightly golden brown on both sides.

    3. Use the palette knife to lift the scones on to a wire rack, then cover them with a clean tea towel to keep them soft and warm. Continue more scones in the same way with the remaining, adding a splash more oil if the pan gets too dry.

    4. Serve at once spread with butter, syrup or honey, or with Greek yoghurt and blueberries or raspberries or other seasonal fruits.

    Cook time: 2-3 minutes per batch.

    Prepare Ahead:

    Can be made up to 6 hours ahead and reheated to serve. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray, cover tightly with foil and warm through in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes.

    Freeze: The drop scones freeze well (see tip); defrost and warm through as above.

    Mary’s Classic Tip:
    * Before freezing the drop pancakes, wrap them in greaseproof paper and pack in a freezer-proof container to prevent them getting damaged edges.
