Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces Cheese Curds (cold)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Milk or Beer (a light lager works well)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 4 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Cheese Curds: Place the cheese curds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, place 1/2 cup of flour. In the second, beat the egg. In a third bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Gradually whisk in the milk or beer until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Bread the Curds: Working in batches, toss the frozen curds in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat them completely in the batter.
  5. Fry the Curds: Carefully add the battered curds to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain and season: Remove the curds with a slotted spoon, let them drain, and immediately season with salt.

Notes

These curds are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
