6. Season to taste using salt and pepper. 
7. Mix well and weigh out into 30g individual balls. Place these into the freezer to firm up well. 
8. Mix the sausage meat with the thyme and seasoning.
9. Assembly of the Scotch “Egg” Please note: Each ball requires approximately 60g sausage meat and 30g frozen barley balls 
10. Wrap by spreading cling film out on your kitchen surface, then press the sausage meat out flat on top of the cling film, add the frozen barley ball into the centre of the meat and carefully wrap the sausage meat around the barley mix until coated evenly. 
11. Now coat these balls in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip these into the egg mixture, removing carefully with a fork shaking off any of the excess egg mixture. Now roll these in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are coated well. 
12. Fry these in the deep fat fryer for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain well onto kitchen paper and finish with a sprinkle of fine salt. Enjoy!
