Perfect for vegans and anyone craving a deliciously hearty treat, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser that combines nostalgia with a modern, ethical twist.
Begin by preparing the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Gradually add the ice cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth and slightly thick batter. Make sure there are no lumps. Set the batter aside to rest for a few minutes.
In the meantime, heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying.
While the oil is heating, pat the vegan sausages dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter sticks well.
Once the oil is hot enough, dip each vegan sausage into the batter, making sure it is well-coated.
Carefully place the battered sausage into the hot oil. Fry two sausages at a time to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Fry each sausage for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausages from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining sausages.
Serve the vegan battered sausages hot, with your favorite dips or alongside chips.
