About this dish
Vienna sausages coated in pancake-mix batter and pressed breadcrumbs fry up into hot dogs small enough for one bite.

A 30-second blanch strips surface fat from the sausages so the batter grips instead of sliding.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Blanch all 20 Vienna sausages in boiling water for 30 seconds to clean the surface and help the batter adhere.
Drain thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- 2
Combine 200g pancake mix, 100ml milk, and 1 egg in a bowl to make a thick batter.
The right consistency drips slowly off a spoon - too thin and it slides off the sausage in the oil.
- 3
Insert a toothpick or short skewer into each sausage.
Dip each sausage into the batter, rotating slowly to build an even, thick coating. Move slowly to avoid air bubbles.
- 4
Press breadcrumbs firmly onto the battered sausages by hand.
The crumbs need to be pressed in, not just dusted on, to stay attached during frying and create a proper crispy texture.
- 5
Heat oil to 170C - when a wooden chopstick shows immediate bubbles, add the hot dogs.
Fry over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, rolling them to ensure even golden-brown coloring all around.
- 6
Rest on paper towels for 1 minute to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot with 2 tbsp ketchup and 1 tbsp mustard on the side.
