Battered Cheese Nuggets
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Batter the Cheese
Dip each cheddar cheese cube into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 4
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the battered cheese cubes into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cheese nuggets from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
