Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather the ingredients from the list.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    How do you make fritters with a surprise inside? Here's my method: pour 250 grams (about 1 cup) of buttermilk into the bowl you'll mix the batter in. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, leveled off. Stir the buttermilk and soda together well and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the reaction can start. Now add 1 egg, the salt, and the sugar. Stir everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Sift the flour a few times, then work it into the batter gradually — add 2 tablespoons at a time and stir well after each so there are no lumps. The batter should have the consistency of thick sour cream. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    While the batter rests, prepare the filling. Peel the casing off the sausage and cut it into rounds (if the sausage is wide, cut the rounds into smaller pieces too).

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Half an hour after mixing the batter, pour about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a heated skillet. Swirl it lightly so the whole surface is coated. Scoop up the batter with a tablespoon and drop it onto the skillet in a small round.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Set a piece of sausage on top of the batter and press it in gently so it sinks in. Then spoon a little more batter over the sausage so it's completely covered. Shape the rest of the fritters the same way. Fry over low heat until golden. Once browned on one side, carefully flip the fritters and fry the other side until cooked through.

    It's a treat to watch people's reactions when they try these for the first time. They look like ordinary fritters, but they've got a surprise tucked inside.

  • Be ready for the batter to need a little more or a little less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the texture you want, not the exact amount of flour. Getting to know your flour and how it behaves helps you avoid mistakes.
