Where to find ingredients
You can find cocktail sausages and all-purpose flour at local supermarkets in Port Vila. Fresh eggs and vegetable oil are available at any grocery or convenience store. If beer is unavailable, sparkling water can be used as a substitute to maintain the batter's crispiness.
Preparation method
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Pour the beer and vegetable oil into the flour mixture.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- After resting, gently fold the stiffly whisked egg white into the batter, being careful not to overmix to keep it light.
- Insert a toothpick into one end of each cocktail sausage.
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring it is evenly and thoroughly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer.
- Fry the sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they reach a golden brown and crispy texture.
- Remove the sausages from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess fat.
