Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegetarian sausages
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Pat the vegetarian sausages dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres properly.
Once the oil is heated, dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower the battered sausages into the hot oil. Fry the sausages in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Cook the sausages for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them occasionally, ensuring even cooking.
Remove the sausages from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the vegetarian classic battered sausages hot with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing zest, if desired.
