Fried Cheese Curds
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Combine mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick.
Heat oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Batter the cheese curds
Dip each cheese curd into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Fry the cheese curds
Carefully place the battered cheese curds into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain and serve
Remove the fried cheese curds with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with chipotle aioli.
