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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Pat the vegetarian sausages dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres properly.

Step 5

Once the oil is heated, dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Step 6

Carefully lower the battered sausages into the hot oil. Fry the sausages in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the sausages from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the vegetarian classic battered sausages hot with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing zest, if desired.
