Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Battering Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the summit beer until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Dip the fresh cheese curds in the beer batter, then carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Balsamic Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sambal Honey

    In another small bowl, combine sambal oelek and honey. Mix until smooth.
