Where to find ingredients
You can find cocktail sausages in the deli or meat section of any Canadian supermarket like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Safeway. All-purpose flour and vegetable oil are available in the baking and oils aisles, respectively. For the beer, any standard lager from a local provincial liquor store works perfectly.
Preparation method
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with salt to taste.
- Whisk the beer and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for 1 hour to rest.
- After the resting period, gently fold the whipped egg white into the batter, being careful not to deflate it to maintain its light, airy texture.
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each cocktail sausage to serve as a handle.
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-sided pot or Dutch oven.
- Fry the battered sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they turn deep golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the sausages from the oil and drain them on a wire rack or paper towels to remove any excess grease.
