Preparation method
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the cake flour and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk in the beer and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth.
- Stir well until you achieve a consistent, smooth batter.
- Cover the bowl and allow the batter to rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Once rested, gently fold in the whipped egg white, being careful not to deflate the mixture so it stays light.
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each cocktail sausage.
- Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or heavy-based pan.
- Deep-fry the sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the sausages from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
