Preparation

Instructions

0/3

Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Add beer, milk, egg, and cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
The batter should be thick enough to coat the sausages well.
Prepare the Sausages
Skewer each sausage on a wooden stick. Ensure they are dry so the batter sticks well.
Pat sausages dry with a paper towel for best results.
Cook
Heat oil to 180°C (350°F) in a deep fryer or large pot. Dip each sausage in the batter and then into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Cook in small batches to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
