Most people say egg roll is the poor cousin of Scotch quite easy egg that lives in Agege, but we can all agree that even though egg roll doesn’t have the expensive condiments that make scotch egg somewhat gourmet it’s a delicious treat all the same. If you can make scotch then making egg roll should be easier. Though you’d have to get your hands a little messy when making egg rolls it’s actually quite easy to make.
INGREDIENTS
10 Whole eggs
4½ Cup Wheat flour (all-purpose flour)
½ Cup Sugar
4 tbsp. Margarine, Butter
½ tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Mixed Spices – Optional
Pinch of salt
1 cup warm water
Vegetable/Soya oil (for deep frying)
DIRECTIONS
In a medium sized pot, boil the eggs for about 10 mins till hard boiled. Once cooked and while hot, place the hard boiled eggs in cold water. This is to ensure the shell comes off easily.
Make a well in the center and gently add water little by little. Work into it some more till you get a Smooth non-sticky elastic dough. Divide it into 10 and roll the divided dough into balls
Dust your flat working surface with flour and roll out each dough. Wrap each dough around each egg and roll into balls
Pre-Heat your vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot and fry the egg rolls till golden brown. To ensure it cooks well on the inside, reduce the temperature of the burner once you drop the egg rolls into the oil.
Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
