Preparation method
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with salt to taste.
- Add the beer and the vegetable oil to the flour and salt mixture.
- Stir well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous batter.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- After resting, gently fold the stiffly beaten egg white into the batter, mixing carefully to maintain its lightness.
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each sausage.
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan.
- Fry the battered sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the sausages from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess fat.
