Take a summer favorite to the next level. Try our homemade beer batter on your favorite savory bratwursts, then deep fry to golden perfection. Bonus recipe for homemade honey mustard sauce, too!
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Arrange the bratwurst on the baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 30 minutes. Cool.
Then cut the bratwursts in half. Insert a wooden skewer into each half.
Heat oil in a deep fryer (or deep pot) to 365 degrees.
While the oil is heating, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda..
Next, whisk in an egg and the beer into the dry mix until combined.
Pour the beer batter into a coffee mug or glass tall enough to dip the bratwurst into. One a time, dip a skewered bratwurst into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
Holding the end of the stick, CAREFULLY and SLOWLY lower the battered bratwurst into the hot oil.
Hold and cook untl golden, about 3 minutes. Finally, drain on a layer of paper bags. Repeat until finished and serve with mustard sauce.
To make the homemade honey mustard stir together mustard, mayo, honey, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper until combined.
