Step 1:

How do you make kefir fritters with cheese and sausage? It's easy! First, gather everything on the ingredient list. Use good all-purpose flour. The kefir should be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge ahead of time — salt doesn't dissolve well in cold kefir. Kefir with about 2.5–3.2% fat works well. Use a refined, neutral-flavored oil for frying.
Step 2:

Peel the casing off the cooked sausage and cut it into small cubes. Instead of cooked sausage, you can use smoked sausage or any other cured or smoked meat: ham, pork loin, coppa, and so on.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on the coarse or medium side of a grater. Any cheese works here — just make sure it tastes good, is good quality, and melts well.
Step 4:

Sift the flour into a bowl. Pour in the room-temperature kefir, then add the egg, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5:

Whisk the batter thoroughly, breaking up any lumps. It should be thick but still pourable. If it's too runny, add a little more flour; if it's too thick, thin it with a splash of kefir.
Step 6:

Stir the sausage and grated cheese into the batter. Mix everything together again.
Step 7:

Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon in the batter, shaping small round fritters. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
Step 8:

Transfer the finished fritters to a plate and serve right away. Enjoy!

Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. To learn how to gauge frying temperature and pick the best oil for the job (and which to skip entirely), read more here.
Important! The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect skillet for different dishes, read more here.
Be ready to use more or less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the consistency of the batter rather than the exact amount of flour. To avoid mistakes, read up on flour and how it behaves!
