Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella and cheddar cheese into sticks about 1 cm thick. Place them on a plate and set aside.
Batter Mixing
- 2
Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.

Fry the Cheese
Dip each cheese stick into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
