Description

This deep-fried cheese curds recipe is straight out of Wisconsin, where fried cheese curds are a favorite. They resemble popcorn, but taste like cheese.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 pound cheese curds
1 quart oil for frying

Directions

1 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in eggs and milk; mix until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner batter. Coat cheese curds in batter.
2 Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry cheese curds until golden, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.
