Homemade Cheese Curds

  • Author: Audrey

Ingredients

1 pound cheese curds
1 cup flour
1 cup beer (+ 12 tablespoons as needed) (I used Hamm’s because it was available)
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt

1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
vegetable oil for deep frying


Instructions

Heat oil in deep fryer or skillet or pot to 400 degrees. If using a skillet ensure enough oil is added to cover the curds (approximately 2″).
Combine flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
Add egg and beer and mix till combined. The batter should have the consistency of thin pancake batter. If it is too thick add additional beer as needed. If it is too thin, sprinkle in a little flour.
Working in batches, drop cheese curds into the batter and evenly coat then lift cheese out of the batter (letting excess batter drip off first) and toss in the bread crumbs. Then, using a slotted spoon, place them in the oil.
Deep fry curds for 1 minute, or until golden brown, turning over as needed, then remove the fried curds to drain on paper towels.
Let cool slightly, but serve while still hot.
