Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Curds

    Begin by placing the fresh cheese curds in a bowl and pouring the buttermilk over them. Let the curds soak for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor.

  2. 2

    Mix the Breading

    In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  2. 4

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Remove the cheese curds from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge the curds in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Fry the Cheese Curds

    Carefully place the coated cheese curds into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy your ranch flavor cheese curds!
