Ingredients
2 tablespoons flavorless oil, plus more for frying
1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (65g) oat flour, or more all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup (120g) buttermilk
18 pre-cooked breakfast sausages (if frozen, heat them a little just until they're soft enough to insert with lollipop sticks)
Maple syrup, for serving, optional
Directions
Special equipment:
18 popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks- Fill a large heavy pot or high sided skillet fitted with a thermometer with 1 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and 2 tablespoons oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer the batter to a tall skinny glass or measuring cup (this step isn't completely necessary, but it will make coating the sausages easier). Working in batches of 3 or 4 sausages at a time, insert popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks into the sausages, pat off any excess moisture with a paper towel, and dip them into the pancake batter to fully coat, scraping off excess. It doesn't need to be a very thick coating as the batter will puff up when frying. Carefully lower the entire thing (stick included) into the hot oil and fry until golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Use tongs to transfer to a paper towel or wire rack. Repeat with the remaining sausages. Cool slightly before serving.
Cook’s Note
To freeze, cool completely and then store in a reusable plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap loosely in a paper towel and microwave for about 40 seconds, or until heated through. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
