Cheese Curds Ingredients

Method

Cheese Curds Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Buttermilk Dip

    In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Curds

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheese curds warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
