- Stir well until you have a smooth, even batter
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the fridge for 1 hour
- After resting, gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter, mixing without beating to keep it light
- Skewer the tip of each sausage with a toothpick
- Dip each sausage into the batter, making sure it is well coated
