Battered Bangers and Mash

Mashed Potatoes

• 4 large potatoes was way too much for two people.
• Boil them a little longer! Mashing was difficult.

Batter

• 1/2c flour
• 1/4c milk
• 1/4c water
• 1.5 Tbs baking powder
• 1 tsp salt.

Frying

• Near 400 produced relatively a dense and solid casing (in appearance.)
• Nearer to 300 was way too low, I thought, as I watched the batter fall off of the bangers and become like funnel cake in the pot. In the end, though, things came together nicely.
• Right around 330-340, the frying produced a really satisfying (in appearance) texture, and seemed like a good mix of color.

Serve with

• Salad to offset the sheer heaviness of it all.
• Heinz beans, the british kind.
