My Mom's mother gave me a recipe for devil eggs and a story to back it up. It also involved a photo of her sitting on her 1938 Indian chief motorcycle on the beach at Daytona Florida, USA. She and my grandfather rode two wheels from NC to Fla. each February to race the beaches from 1939 to 1943. The story is better than the eggs. But what can you expect from a woman whose name is Martha (maiden name Baysinger) Creasey and whose mother was an O'Çonner. God bless the Irish.

I make a left-field version of a scotch eggs, smoked, deviled, scotch eggs with bacon.

this recipe is for making 6-8 eggs, for 12-16 servings.
The sausage mix:
*6-8 peeled hard boiled eggs(depending on how much sausage you like wrapped around the eggs), buy them a week in advance. real fresh eggs peel poorly. I use the float method to see if they are good for hardboiling, in a pot of water set the egg on the bottom, if the egg stands up on end it is a good hardboiler, if it lays flat its too fresh and will likely not peel well, if it floats to the top its good to go in the trash.
*1 1/2-2 lbs of fresh bulk sweet Italian sausage with no fennel, cut it out of casings if links are all thats available at the store (I use homemade venison sausage for mine)
*1 raw egg to go into the sausage mix
*breadcrumbs (enough to tighten up the sausage-egg mix)
*4-6 slices of bacon cooked crisp in the oven and minced up, and mixed into sausage.

The deviled egg ingredients:
*****based on recipe for 18 whole eggs, needs to be adjusted down!******
*1/2 cup real mayo, (NOT miracle whoop)
*2 Tbsp dijon mustard
*1Tbsp minced green onion or shallot
*1Tbsp lemon juice
*1/2tsp sriracha sauce
*1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
*1/4 tsp salt
*addl sriracha sauce for garnish dollop on top of yolk.

Mix raw egg and crumbled bacon into sausage, add breadcrumbs to tighten up sausage mix, wrap peeled eggs in sausage and put into the smoker at 225-250 degrees, I smoke mine with live oak or applewood depending on my stash of wood, they usually take 2-3 hours to get the sausage to 160 degrees.

Cool a tick, cut in half, scoop the yolks and devil with the above recipe, serve with a dollop of sriracha hot sauce on top.

I enjoy my leftovers the next morning for breakfast.

My cousin's recipe: Angel Biscuits (or scones if you prefer) 5 cups self-rising flour, 1 pkg. dry yeast mixed w/ 1/4 cup warm water, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 cups buttermilk. Mix dry ingredients first, add milk and yeast mixture. Knead, roll on floured board, cut into biscuits. Let stand and rise for 15 minutes. Bake in 425 F oven 15 minutes or until done. Unbaked dough will keep in fridge up to 3 days.

For sausage lovers: King Ranch Sausage 10 lbs. ground pork scraps, 5 Tsp. salt, 2 & 1/2 tsp. dry ground mustard, 5 tsp. black pepper, 2 & 1/2 tsp. ground cloves, 5 tsp. ground red pepper, 6 & 1/2 Tsp. ground sage. Mix seasonings and work them thoroughly through the meat. May pack meat loose for freezer storage, or it can be stuffed into natural casings or smoked. 1 tsp. = 5 g, 1 Tsp= 15 g.

My salmon salad : One 15 oz can salmon drained, 1 cup mayo, 4 oz. dill pickle relish or cubes, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper. Good for work sandwiches.
