• Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a medium heavy bottom pan at 375°.

For the Batter

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk dry ingredients together.
• In a small bowl, mix egg, buttermilk and oil together then add to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened.
• Prior to dipping smoked sausages into the batter, make sure to dry each one off with a paper towel.
• Next, dip each sausage into the batter, covering it completely and then carefully adding it immediately to the heated oil with a spoon.
• Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes, and then carefully remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Enjoy!
• I don't use sticks with this recipe, but if you want these "on a stick" just add the sticks prior to placing in the oil.
