Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the craft beer until smooth and well combined.

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4
