Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick.

Frying the Cheese Curds

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Using a fork, dip each cheese curd into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Carefully place the battered cheese curds into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the fried cheese curds with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Serve the fried cheese curds hot with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
