Cheese Curds

Sriracha Ranch Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparing the Cheese Curds

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Cheese Curds

    Dip the white cheddar cheese curds into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Curds

    Carefully place the battered cheese curds into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sriracha Ranch Dipping Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing and sriracha sauce. Stir until well blended. Adjust sriracha to taste for more spiciness.
