Patreon Only - Battle of the Big Bois vs the Small Bois (aka homemade Scotch Eggs)
Added 2021-10-23 09:01:00 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday, everyone!!
Today we're making my first-ever homemade scotch eggs!
I decided to run a bit of an experiment with different sausage meat and types of egg-yolk - hope you enjoy the video!!
Do you have a favourite way to make scotch eggs? Let me know!

It's showing for me now, as is the latest video 👍

2021-10-30 21:22:31 +0000 UTCOh you did do that! Well, great minds think alike. (Don’t tell me the next part to that.)

2021-10-30 12:44:09 +0000 UTCThe best way to buy sausage meat is to buy your favourite sausages and just remove the skins. Most likely better quality (assuming you bought quality sausages) and pre-seasoned. BTW - no point me entering in a which sausage is best debate. I’m from Lincoln(shire)!

2021-10-30 12:41:51 +0000 UTCIt's not just you! Everyone seems to have that problem with the App but the Desktop version is OK. I've submitted a ticket to Patreon but I'm sure they're getting flooded with complaints lol

2021-10-26 08:37:08 +0000 UTCNot sure what happened with the latest Patreon app update on Android, but the video on the post is not visible on either my phone or tablet after the update. Earlier posts with videos do show their videos though. 🤷♂️

2021-10-26 05:45:31 +0000 UTCOkay! I’m with you on Lincolnshire sausage meat being far tastier! They’re my favourite sausages because of the herb mix in them…yum!

2021-10-24 15:17:31 +0000 UTCYou can get Paxo just about everywhere! But that's not what I wanted, I like Panko better!

2021-10-24 15:00:35 +0000 UTCMy Mom used to buy a brand of golden breadcrumbs called "Crisp-it" here in the UK, but it seems they don't make them any more! However, you CAN get Paxo Golden Breadcrumbs from Waitrose - though you OUGHT to be able to get Paxo products from other supermarkets as well...? Have a look on Google!

Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:39:54 +0000 UTCThanks Andrew! The book doesn't say, just a packet of Shake N Bake! The pork one would make sense though, although you could always experiment with the others!

2021-10-24 07:39:42 +0000 UTCThanks Shaun! She was born in Toronto, apparently!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:39:05 +0000 UTCYeah! They were so easy and really tasty - although I didn't like them when they were cold, the breadcrumb layer went soggy 😩 so you gotta eat them fast!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:38:08 +0000 UTCGood point!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:37:30 +0000 UTCThey were so good! Definitely have a better idea on making them next time
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:37:01 +0000 UTCYessss that would be so good!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:36:44 +0000 UTCThank you!!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-24 07:36:36 +0000 UTCGreat video Alanna!! Of course, now I'm hungry 😂
James Alberg
2021-10-24 02:47:14 +0000 UTCThat looked really good! I haven't had scotch eggs in years. I think I might try making some using Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage - that should give them a nice little kick. 8^)
Amos Bannister
2021-10-24 01:45:08 +0000 UTCI can't think of a reason why not as it seals the shell and prevents air from getting in. just make sure the eggs are as fresh as possible, back of the shelf if stock rotation properly done. May not stay fresh for quite as long. The way to test an egg before cooking is to place in a jug/mug of cold water if it sinks it's ok, if it floats it's off. Floating one end up but not completely floating just touching the bottom use immediately.

2021-10-23 20:49:27 +0000 UTCYummmmmm!!! The soft boiled eggs looked very good.

2021-10-23 20:17:42 +0000 UTCPanko was ideal since you were baking instead of deep frying. The cheaper sausage probably had more fat. Fat is less dense than muscle. That is likely why the shell cracked open too. The meat shrunk as is cooks which is normal but the fat melted away also. May have been the juiciness. I also like my Amazon silicone mats. Don’t use cooking spray on them. And if you want the bottom of what you’re cooking browner or crisper don’t use the mat for those things. I want a Scotch Egg now.

2021-10-23 17:01:40 +0000 UTCDo you think you'll do more experimenting with different recipes/types of meat for them?
Brett Carruthers
2021-10-23 15:46:16 +0000 UTCI should to try the buttery egg trick. Need to verify though. Does that work with North American style eggs that have the cuticle removed or strictly with fresh/European style eggs.
The Raven
2021-10-23 15:31:54 +0000 UTCGreat job, they look really tasty, especially the Lincolnshire ones. Surprisingly easy. Cool you got that cookbook, Renee is great, a fellow Ontario girl I believe. Was debating buying the cookbook myself.
Shaun Garratt
2021-10-23 13:29:36 +0000 UTCWow that was well done and I am so glad you like the cookbook. Not going to lie, when you said you were going to make something British I didn't expect Scotch eggs. Does the book say which version of Shake'N'Bake to use, I'm guessing because it's sausage it would be the pork one?

2021-10-23 12:18:24 +0000 UTCThey looked fantastic and pretty easy. Great video!

2021-10-23 11:38:59 +0000 UTC😂 I'll keep the baked goods as a hobby lol

2021-10-23 11:38:57 +0000 UTCThanks Stephen!!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:38:45 +0000 UTCI was honestly shocked how easy they were, and there's simple ways to make them so much better than the grocery store ones! Gotta get that good meat!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:38:39 +0000 UTCIt truly is! Lots of great stuff in there
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:38:07 +0000 UTCI think 7 mins is best, we always get the big eggs, too.
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:37:59 +0000 UTCThanks Aaron! You should try a scotch egg sometime!
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:37:38 +0000 UTCCheers Gem, hope the fudge turns out well!! 🥳
Adventures and Naps
2021-10-23 11:37:21 +0000 UTCThe boiling time for a soft boiled egg depends on its size, 3 minutes for a small egg, 4-5 for a medium and 6-7 for large and very/extra large need 7+.
Tony S
2021-10-23 11:33:31 +0000 UTCThe cheaper the sausage meat, the more water and other cheap ingredients hence being heavier. Buy a minimum 80% pork sausage (meat) preferably from a quality butcher. Deep fry them if possible as the meat only needs cooking not the egg which occurs when in the oven for 30 minutes, try a 200 deg. oven for 15 minutes. Practice makes perfect. A dog (which you don't have) will get rid of any failures! Luxury Scotch Eggs can be made with Wild Boar or Venison. I once had some made with Pheasant meat and Quail eggs, the eggs were still soft, The Pheasant very well hung, very gamey, a very good Chef who wanted to use up some Pheasants that if kept a day longer would have been off. I know how the Quail eggs were kept fresh for so long, just coat any fresh egg in melted butter (preferably salted) and they will keep for months and have a buttery flavour.

2021-10-23 11:22:56 +0000 UTCAnother culinary triumph. They looked really good. Maybe Edenbridge should branch out into a line of artisan baked goods.

2021-10-23 11:00:34 +0000 UTCHi, Alanna, I feel really hungry after watching that. Entertaining and informative you can't ask for more.
Stephen Parker
2021-10-23 10:52:59 +0000 UTCI really didn't realise how much I was salivating during that - I love scotch eggs and I'll definitely be making some myself now as I need something savoury as a change from the scones I've been trying out last week. Pretty sure the panko crumbs, softer eggs and well-seasoned meat will take it up a level from what I'm used to buying as well.

2021-10-23 10:02:34 +0000 UTCThe Cook Book was a great addition to the A&N Kitchen...
Steve Mikre
2021-10-23 09:58:26 +0000 UTCOK I'm going to try that. Given how long they were in the oven I think a 7 minute egg is worth a try
Simon
2021-10-23 09:29:04 +0000 UTCI’ve never had a scotch egg before! Thanks for all your patreon videos! They’re very funny and very chill! I like them a lot! Hope you have a nice weekend!
Aaron Conway
2021-10-23 09:24:41 +0000 UTCThey looked great! Love scotch eggs but I’m too lazy to make my own 😂 maybe I’ll attempt it one day if I’m really bored 😂 I’m making fudge again this week, yum! Hope you have a chill weekend 🙂
