Nova Scotia Scotch Eggs

Makes six servings. Roll eggs in the flour, and, using floured hands, press sausage meat around each egg to cover. Beat egg and water lightly together. Dip each egg into the egg/water mixture, and then roll in the breadcrumbs. Fry in deep fat at 350 degrees, allowing time to thoroughly cook the sausage meat and brown the exterior. Drain on paper and serve hot or cold.
