For this recipe, pork sausage is what is usually used especially in chip shops that serve battered sausage. I personally love Farmers Choice pork sausages but you can use whatever sausage you love from your local supermarket.

And oh, a chip shop basically means a chips and fish spot and this is where you would commonly find battered sausage being served.

• Vegan Sausages – you can use vegan sausages made from either tofu, soy or veggies.
• Italian sausages – have a wide range of flavor varieties which you can choose from.
• Bratwurst Sausages – this German originating sausages are also a great choice.

Recipe Ingredients

Below are the ingredients needed to make this battered sausage recipe without beer:

• Sausages: This isn’t going to be a battered sausage recipe without the sausages. I prefer using pork sausages but you can use whatever sausages you like for this recipe.
• Water– to create a smooth batter when added to the flour.
• Oil – to fry the battered sausages for this recipe. You can use any type of oil available to you. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the sausages.
• Plain flour– to make the batter that the sausages will be dipped into.

Battered Sausage:

• ▢6 Pork Sausages
• ▢1/4 cup flour
• ▢ Vegatable oil for frying
• ▢½ tsp Baking powder
• ▢1 Egg

How to prepare

1. Add oil in a frying pan and heat it over medium high heat.
2. Whisk one egg in a bowl until it becomes fluffy.
3. In a clean mixing bowl, add in your flour, salt and baking powder and incorporate everything together.
4. Lightly roll your sausages in this flour and place them aside on another plate before adding the water and egg mixture to the flour. This will help the batter adhere better to the sausages.
5. Add water to this flour mixture until you get a smooth consistency.
6. Coat your sausages in this batter evenly and add them into the oil and fry for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
7. Place your sausages on plate covered with paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Additional Tips while making this recipe

• Serve while its still fresh and hot
• Add more seasoning in the batter – you can add in any seasoning of your choice in the batter like garlic powder, paprika etc.
• Fry in batches – depending on the amount of sausages you are making and the size of your frying pan, make sure not to over crowd your pan to avoid the sausages from cooking slower and becoming soggy.
• Use great quality sausages for better flavor and taste.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes before coating the sausages.
• Make sure that the oil is hot enough before adding the sausages. You can use a toothpick to check if the oil is hot enough.

Variations:
