Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese and Pickles

    Cut the cheddar cheese into bite-sized cubes and slice the pickles into spears or rounds.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter the Cheese and Pickles

    Dip the cheese cubes and pickle slices into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese and Pickles

    Carefully place the battered cheese and pickles into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried cheese and pickles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
