Ingredients

  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 wooden skewers (6-in.)
  • 20 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
  • Maple pancake syrup, for serving

Directions

  1. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Let stand 15 minutes. Insert skewers into sausage links; pat sausage dry with paper towel.
  3. Dip each sausage link into the batter; fry, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
