Directions

  1. 1Get a frying pan over medium heat and put a couple of tablespoons of oil in.
  2. 2Allow the oil to heat for a couple of minutes.
  3. 3Add sausages (thin or thick, depending on desired size) and cook them for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until ready.
  4. 4Turn off the heat and transfer the cooked sausages to a plate.
  5. 5Set the sausages aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
  6. 6While the sausages are cooling, get a large bowl and add 1.5 cups of self-raising flour.
  7. 7Add a pinch of salt to the flour.
  8. 8Make a well in the middle of the flour and add one egg into the center.
  9. 9Slowly add 375 ml of beer (any type) to the bowl while whisking until combined.
  10. 10Place the batter in the fridge for about 20 minutes while the sausages continue to cool.
  11. 11Once the sausages have cooled, get a plate or bowl for dipping and stick a skewer into each sausage.
  12. 12Get a deep frying pan, deep fryer, or saucepan and fill it with 3 to 5 cm deep of vegetable oil.
  13. 13Heat the oil.
  14. 14Once the oil is almost ready, roll the cooled sausages in plain flour to give them a coating.
  15. 15Roll the floured sausages in the beer batter, letting the excess batter drip off.
  16. 16Carefully place the battered sausages straight into the hot oil.
  17. 17Cook for about 2 minutes or until the batter turns golden.
