Fried Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

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

  3. 3

    Coat the cheese curds

    Dip each cheese curd into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the cheese curds

    Carefully place the coated cheese curds into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
