Fried Cheese Curds
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Battering Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Cheese Curds
Dip each cheese curd into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
Fry the Cheese Curds
Carefully drop the battered cheese curds into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
