Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, salt, vegetable oil, and beer at any local supermarket like SM Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket, or Savemore. Cocktail sausages are widely available in the deli section of most grocery stores, usually sold as 'cocktail franks'. If you prefer a non-alcoholic base for the batter, you can substitute the beer with sparkling water or soda water; however, the beer is traditional in the original recipe to achieve the perfect crispiness.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt
- Add the beer and vegetable oil to the flour mixture
- Whisk until you have a smooth, consistent batter
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the fridge for about 1 hour
- After resting, gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter to keep it light and airy
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each cocktail sausage
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat
- Fry the battered sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy
- Drain the sausages on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving
