• Ready In: 9mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 8 saveloys

ingredients

• 8 thick wooden skewers
• 8 frankfurters (known as saveloys in Oz)

• Batter

• 1⁄4 cup self raising flour

directions

1. Poke wooden skewers through center of saveloys lengthwise, leaving about 8cm protruding at one end for a handle. Dust saveloys lightly with flour.
2. To make batter, place flours, soda, water and egg in a food processor or blender, process for 10 seconds or until smooth, transfre mixture to a bowl.
3. Heat oil to moderately hot in a deep heavy based pan. Holding ends of skewers, dip saveloys one or two at a time into the batter, coating completely. Drain off excess batter. Holding skewer ends, gently lower battered saveloys into the hot oil. Hold for a few seconds until saveloys float unaided. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden.
