DIY Cheese Curds
Prep Time5 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup milk or beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 - 9-ounce package fresh cheese curds, room temperature
Directions
  1. In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 375 to 385 F. Make sure there is enough oil to completely cover the cheese curds while frying.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine egg, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and milk or beer until well blended. Add flour, sugar, salt and baking powder; mix until smooth.
  3. Drop cheese curds in batter. Using a spoon, turn cheese curds to coat thoroughly.
  4. A few at a time, drop the coated curds into the hot oil; fry approximately 1 minute or until brown and puffed, turning to coat all sides. Do not overcook, or the cheese curds will begin to melt and ooze through the coating.
  5. Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels. Allow fried cheese curds to cool a couple of minutes before eating.
