Preparation method
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with salt to taste.
- Add the beer and vegetable oil to the flour and salt mixture.
- Stir well until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- After resting, gently fold the stiff egg white into the batter, mixing carefully to maintain its airy texture.
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each cocktail sausage.
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring it is thoroughly and evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or heavy-bottomed pan.
- Fry the battered sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they reach a deep golden brown and are perfectly crispy.
- Remove the sausages from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
