Start by preparing the batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free plain flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the ice-cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Mix until you achieve a smooth and thick batter. Avoid over-mixing, as you want to keep the batter airy.
Once the batter is ready, allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This resting time will help the batter adhere better to the sausages.
While the batter is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 175°C (347°F). Ensure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the sausages.
Dust the gluten-free sausages lightly with gluten-free flour. This will help the batter stick to the sausages.
Once the oil is hot and the batter has rested, dip each sausage into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.
Carefully place the battered sausage into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry each sausage for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausages from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce or a side of chips.
