Cheese Curds

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Curds

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Then roll them in breadcrumbs to ensure a thick coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Carefully drop the breaded cheese curds into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with house-made Ranch and Honey Mustard Sauce.
