"Love scotch eggs and never thought to make it as pasties but it certainly looked good in Recipe + magazine. Please note our pastry sheets are about 22cm to 24cm square. Since3 making this and using just lean mince and scaling back for 2 serves I found it easier to wrap the mince around the cooked egg and then wrap the pastry around the mince/egg mixture and baked at 180C fan forced oven and was very pleased with the result."
