Cheese Curds
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the beer batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the cheese curds
Dip each cheddar cheese curd into the beer batter, ensuring they are well coated.
- 4
Fry the cheese curds
Carefully drop the battered cheese curds into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Drain and serve
Remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with honey sriracha sauce on the side, if desired.
