O.M.G…..I just had to try this. A Glasgow based Chippy called The Kents advertised beer battered square sausage a few weeks ago and it went viral, so yes of course, I had to try my own version. You really don’t get any more Scottish than this. It was surprisingly delicious.

Makes 8

For the Batter:-

125g Plain Flour

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp garlic granules

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

250ml Beer or Lager (I used Tennents to go all Scottish)

*

Sausages x 4 – preferably from your local butcher

4 tbsp flour to dust

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl then crack in the egg.
2. Gently start to whisk together and slowly add in the beer/lager little at a time until you get a nice smooth, lump free batter. It should be runny but not too thin.     
3. Heat some oil in a pan. To tell the right temperature, drop a little of the batter in and if it gently starts to cook and turn brown then its hot enough.
4. Dust each sausage with a little flour then dip into the batter.
5. Gently drop the sausage into the oil and cook for about 8 minutes, don’t over cook or it will go rubbery.
6. Serve on a lovely Scottish Morning Roll. Yummy!
