Preparation
Step 1
Peel the hard boiled eggs and toss in the flour. Fry the leeks in the oil for a few minutes until softened then mix with 115g of the breadcrumbs, the lemon zest, suet, herbs, mustard and seasoning. If the mixture is a bit dry add a little water. Shape the mixture around the eggs, then toss in to the beaten egg and then the remaining breadcrumbs.
If using a deep fat fryer, pour in enough oil to fill it one-third capacity and heat to a temperature of 190 degrees C. Fry the eggs three at a time for about 2 – 3 minutes until brown. If you don’t have a deep fat fryer you can deep fry them in a saucepan or, alternatively shallow fry, turning the balls frequently to brown on every side. They are best eaten on the day.
