Method
Fried Cheese Curds
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
- 2
Coat the Cheese Curds
Dip the cheese curds into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat them in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat for all cheese curds.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Cheese Curds
Carefully add the coated cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese curds and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
