method
1. Divide the sausage-meat into 4 equal pieces.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a circle 12 cm in diameter.
3. Beat the egg with the water.
4. Season the remaining flour with salt and pepper and toss the hard-boiled eggs in it.
5. Place an egg in the centre of each circle of sausage meat and mould evenly round the egg, making sure it fits closely.
6. Seal the joins with the beaten egg and pinch well together.
7. Mould each Scotch egg into a good shape, brush it all over with beaten egg, and then toss it in the breadcrumbs, covering the surface evenly.
8. Press the crumbs well in. Put enough oil to cover the Scotch eggs into a deep pan and heat it.
9. Fry the eggs until golden brown.
10. Drain them on soft kitchen paper.
11. Cut in half lengthways and garnish each half with a small piece of parsley.
12. Serve hot with Fresh Tomato Sauce or cold with salad.
Note As the sausage-meat is raw, it is important that the frying should not be hurried.
