Preparation
Step 1
How do you make pan-fried sausages in batter? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Use good-quality sausages, preferably category A. This is one thing you really should not save money on. Any refined vegetable oil will work. Use larger eggs.
Step 2
Crack the egg into a bowl and lightly beat it with a fork and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Sift the flour and mix it with salt. I recommend always sifting the flour, as this makes the coating lighter and crispier.
Step 4
Which sausages are best for cooking in batter? It is best to use category A sausages in natural casing - after frying, the casing becomes pleasantly crisp. If the sausages are in plastic casing, it must be removed. Very soft, floury sausages, such as category B or C, may fall apart during frying and absorb a lot of oil.
Step 5
How do you coat the sausages before frying? Dip each sausage into the egg, then coat it in flour. Repeat the process once more. The sequence will be: egg, flour, egg, flour.
Step 6
How do you fry sausages in batter in a pan? Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed pan. Fry the sausages over low heat, turning them, until evenly golden. If the heat is too high, the coating will cook, but the sausages inside will not heat through properly. Then place the cooked sausages on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
How do you serve sausages in batter? Serve pan-fried sausages in batter with delicate mashed potatoes and pickles for a nostalgic childhood-style taste. For a lighter option, use a mix of salad leaves with lemon juice dressing. For sauces, spicy tomato chili sauce, classic cheese sauce, or a garlic and sour cream dip all work well. Mini sausages threaded onto skewers and served with a glass of beer or cider look especially impressive. Enjoy!
