How to Make Scotch Eggs

Very few Scots bother to ask the question, 'How to make Scotch Eggs.' Maybe because we can buy them cheaply and easily at most Supermarkets.

I can't promise Scotch eggs but if you live in Canada or North America, you can purchase a variety of Scottish food products that are Made in US and shipped direct to you from the USA.

However, if you would like to share a Scottish Recipe with others on this site please contribute HERE.

But there are so many other savoury recipes you might want to try such as Scotch Pies or even Forfar Bridies or even Lorne (or sliced) Sausages which you could serve with Potato Scones. You could always try the simple everyday dish of Stovies, or the traditional Fish and Chips in Batter.

However back to this recipe on how to make scotch eggs - they're often eaten as snacks at parties serving 'finger buffet' food, such as on Boxing Day which is the day after Christmas or Hogmanay.

I have made them in the past (when I was 'young') - and here is the simple recipe I used.

12oz/350g pork sausagemeat
