My auntie used to make these for me when I was young. She recently visited from Australia after not seeing each other for a long time so we cooked these together so that I could learn the recipe and have it to hand for when I want to bring back these childhood #memories :-)

Steps

1

Add the eggs the to a pan of cold water and bring to the boil on a high heat. Once boiling leave them in for 10 minutes.
2

Divide the sausage meat evenly into 6
3

After the 10 minutes are up run the eggs under cold water for a couple of minutes until completely cold this will keep the whites white.
4

Peel the eggs
5

Place the eggs on the sausage meat
6

Mould the sausage meat around the egg. Flour your hands and the board to stop them from sticking while doing this. Try to close any holes and get rid of any air. Air is the enemy!
7

Combine the single egg with the milk to make an egg wash
8

On a floured board shape each piece into a circle leaving a coating of flour on each.
9

Add the breadcrumbs to a bowl.
10

Roll each sausage ball in the egg followed by the bread crumbs
11

Heat the oil on a medium heat.
12

When the oil is slightly starting to bubble lower the heat and add a couple of eggs gently. You can cook two at a time
13

As the eggs cook, delicately rotate them so they are cooked though, they are ready when golden brown and looking crispy roughly 10 minutes
14

Top tip: If the oil is too hot the sausage meat will crack and fall off so lower it! You may need to sacrifice a test egg. It is better to let them cook slowly and stay in one piece!!
15

When the eggs are cooked transfer them to a plate lined with kitchen roll.
