Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and paprika in a bowl.
- Add the egg and the lukewarm milk, then mix until you have a smooth, fairly runny batter.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Cut the sausages in half lengthways and make a small slit, then tuck in a few pieces of cheese.
- Dip each sausage into the batter to coat it well, letting the excess drip off.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the chaparritas for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve straight away, with ketchup or mustard if you like.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Brush the chaparritas with oil and bake at 200 °C for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
