Ingredients
- Bratwurst Sausages – If you can’t find pre-cooked sausages, just bake them or air fry them before making this recipe.
- Cornmeal, Flour, Baking Soda and Baking Powder – Mix together the ingredients with some stout beer and an egg to make the batter.
How To Make Deep Fried Bartwurst
- If your sausages are not cooked already, make sure to either bake them, pan fry or air fry until fully cooked before starting this recipe.
- Heat enough oil in a pan to completely cover the sausages when frying. The oil should reach a temperature of 375 degrees F.
- Cut the brats sausages into small 1 inch pieces.
- In a bowl, combine flour, yellow cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, egg and stout beer.
- Whisk until the batter is fully combined and thick.
- Dip each bratwurst sausage into the batter and transfer to the oil to fry. Do not over crowd with too many sausages or the oil temperature will drop too low.
- Deep fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes for each sausage.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and serve with a drizzle of mustard.
Recipes Notes
- Do not over mix the batter otherwise you won’t get the consistency you’re looking for.
- Use a deep frying thermometer to check the oil temperature before cooking.
- A good quality beer brand like Guinness works best for this recipe.
