  • 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

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together, then whisk in the beer to make a smooth, thick batter; rest it for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat about 5 cm of oil in a deep, heavy pot to 180 °C (350 °F).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towel for a minute, and serve hot.
