Beer Battered Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spiced Tomato Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until warmed through. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the beer, whisking until smooth and fully combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Batter the Cheese Curds

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Cheese Curds

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot beer battered cheese curds with the spiced tomato sauce for dipping.
