Notes
Can I Make This Battered Sausage Recipe Gluten-Free?
Yes, as this battered sausage recipe has no beer in it, to make this recipe gluten-free you just have to replace the self-raising flour with gluten-free self raising flour.Bicarbonate of soda is naturally gluten-free!
Which Sausage Should I Use?
Most chip shops use pork sausages which they dip in batter to make a battered sausage. I buy a pack of jumbo pork sausages from my local supermarket. Cumberland sausages, frankfurters or Kielbasa sausages are all great alternatives.
Shallow Frying
You can also shallow fry the battered sausages. Make sure the height of the oil is at least up to half the height of the battered sausage (lying down). You would need to turn the battered sausage over halfway into the cooking time.
