Fried Bratwurst

4 servings

Ingredients

• 0.62 kg bratwurst
• water (a little)
• flour (a little)
• butter (a little)

Instructions

1. Use ½ to ¾ kg of sausage.
2. The sausage should not be too tightly packed, but there should also be no air bubbles in the meat, otherwise it will burst.
3. Pour boiling water over the sausage, pat dry, dust lightly with flour, and fry in butter in a shallow pan on all sides until nicely light brown, about 15 minutes.
4. In some regions, bratwurst is grilled on a narrow grate over a charcoal fire in its own fat; here, about 10 minutes are needed, turning them frequently.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
