- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (233 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: alcohol, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 130 g Pork sausages, fresh
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 2 g Baking powder
- 45 g Beer
- 0.5 g Salt
- 15 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together, then whisk in the beer to make a smooth, thick batter; rest it for 15 minutes.
- Heat about 5 cm of oil in a deep, heavy pot to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Pat the sausage dry, skewer it on a fork or thin stick, and dip it into the batter, turning to coat evenly and letting the excess drip off.
- Lower it carefully into the hot oil and fry for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is deep golden and crisp and the sausage is cooked through with no pink in the centre.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towel for a minute, and serve hot.
