Difficulty: EASY
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serving Size: 16 curds
Ingredients:
- 2 quarts corn oil for frying
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup beer
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 pounds cheese curds, broken apart
Directions:
- Heat corn oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Whisk together milk, flour, beer, salt, and eggs to form a smooth, rather thin batter. Place cheese curds, about 6 or 8 at a time, into the batter, stir to coat, and remove with wire strainer.
- Shake the curds a time or two to remove excess batter. Deep fry the curds until golden brown, 1 or 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels; serve hot.
